What Psychiatric Care Involves
The first appointment
A first psychiatric appointment is longer than most medical visits because it covers a lot of ground: what you are experiencing now, when it started, what has helped and what has not, your medical history, medications, sleep, alcohol and substance use, and what is happening in your life. There is no quick version of that conversation, and nothing you say needs to be tidied up first.
Medication is one option, not the only one
Depending on what is going on, a plan may involve medication, therapy, changes to sleep or routine, or a combination. Where medication is recommended, you should leave understanding what it is for, how long it takes to work, what side effects to expect early on, and when the next review is.
What to bring
- Any medications you take, including ones from other providers
- Names of any psychiatric medications you have tried before and how they went
- Notes or records from previous care, if you have them
- Someone you trust, if you would find that easier
Confidentiality
What you discuss stays between you and your care team, with the narrow exceptions the law requires, which center on immediate risk to you or someone else. If you want a family member included, you can say so and it will be documented.
If you are in crisis
If you are thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, available 24 hours a day. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Please do not wait for an appointment.
