Psychiatric consultation

The first consultations with last 50 min and offer an opportunity to discuss the nature of the discomfort, worry or suffering that influence one’s daily functioning. The doctor’s role is to gather a detailed history of the patient, build an understanding of the current symptoms and to decide whether or what kind of psychotherapy or/and pharmacology would be recommended.

The subsequent consultations can still require a full 50 min session or may be shorter (30 min) when the aim is already more on monitoring of the pharmacological treatment.
