Mental Health Disorders are quite naturally taxing both on the individual and the caregivers. Unlike physical health issues, mental health disorders may not always have obvious tell-tale signs. Understanding these signs, though often buried deep within is crucial for effective recovery.
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor specialising in mental health. They assess both mental and physical aspects of the disorder. They diagnose and treat mental health disorders and also prescribe medication when necessary. Cadabams Hospitals, one of the best psychiatric hospitals in India, offers a wide range of professionals to meet all of your needs.
Carry medical history that might be relevant. Previous consultation records (if any), Prescriptions, lab reports, etc. All the information will help us build a more accurate picture.
It's preferable that close family members / guardians who knows the person and the condition accompany the individual for the consultation for we can get reliable information and thus arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
Try to thoroughly observe the individual and the symptoms before the consultation for this helps you effectively answer the psychiatrists' questions.
Making notes of your observations and documenting the signs and symptoms can go a long way in ensuring an accurate diagnosis. And remember, simplicity is the key. Try and avoid jargons while describing the symptoms, it's best to explain it in laymen's words.
