What to Expect in a First Consultation
During a first consultation, the focus may include current symptoms, previous psychiatric or psychological history, family history, sleep, physical health, medication history, alcohol or substance use, relationships and family, and previous treatment response.
Patient & Family Support
Patients and families may bring previous prescriptions, previous medical or mental-health records, a current medication list, a family member where appropriate, and details of previous treatment.
Family Participation in Care
Family participation is usually encouraged where appropriate and may depend on the patient’s preference and clinical circumstances.
Philosophy of Care
Understand the person before treating the symptoms.
Care should be individualised to the person’s needs.
Patients and clinicians should make decisions together.
Recovery includes functioning and quality of life, not only symptom reduction.
Family support can be an important part of recovery.
Mental and physical health should be considered together.
