WHAT TO EXPECT

First consultations follow a structured approach of systematic enquiry and history taking that is led by the psychiatrist. This approach is crucial to ensure that all relevant information is obtained to formulate a provisional diagnosis and treatment plan. Unfortunately an open therapy session led by the patient cannot be provided, since information needed for a medical diagnosis and medical decision-making may not be reported by the patient.
