What to expect at a consultation

For a first psychiatric appointment, bring any previous medical records, a list of current medications, and details about your symptoms and how long they've lasted. The doctor will likely conduct a psychiatric evaluation, which may involve discussing your mental health history, and may recommend medication, therapy, or both. Be ready to ask questions about treatment options and what to expect.
