People often ask online what they need to do to prepare for a psychiatric or psychological consultation. Here I will give you a more detailed answer: The psychiatric consultation or psychological counseling assessment is mainly based on the doctor’s consultation, and the diagnosis given by the doctor is based on the medical history information provided by you, what the doctor saw or felt on the spot, and the results of some corresponding psychological tests before reaching a conclusion. Of course, physical, laboratory and other tests will also be taken into consideration. If you want to see the doctor yourself, you need to write down the manifestations of your discomfort before the consultation. If you come for your child or family, you need to know before the consultation what you feel is wrong with him, or even if you are a student, you can ask your teachers or classmates who have a close relationship with him. I find that when I go to the clinic, I often encounter parents (especially those who are divorced or don’t live with their children) who have no way to talk about their children’s situation. The main reason for this preparation is so that the doctor can understand you better in the limited time available, so that the diagnosis and treatment can be more accurate. If you have not only mental or psychological abnormalities, but also some physical discomfort, you must first go to a general hospital to investigate whether there is a physical disease, because some organic diseases can also have mental abnormalities. If the disease is serious and requires hospitalization or you are ready to be hospitalized, there are various clinical examinations before admission, such as to exclude the presence of infectious diseases, etc. After reading my introduction, you will know that all you need to do to see a psychiatrist or psychologist is to do this. I strongly agree that you should always go to the hospital in addition to online consultation, because words cannot convey your true scent. It’s a responsibility to yourself and your family. So be sure not to be afraid of trouble when you get sick.
