Approach to Care
Mr. P. Inba Sekara Pandian’s approach includes detailed assessment, shared decision-making, family involvement where appropriate, psychoeducation, recovery and functional improvement, and multidisciplinary team care.
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, work or education, relationships and family, risk and safety, and previous treatment response.
Patient & Family Support
Patients and families may bring previous prescriptions, current medication information, previous mental-health records, relevant laboratory reports, details of previous treatment and a family member where appropriate.
Family Participation in Care
Family participation is usually encouraged where appropriate and may depend on the patient’s preference and clinical circumstances, as well as age and condition.
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.
