PSYCHIATRY ASSESSMENT INFORMATION ON ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT

At our private clinic we provide a range of diagnostic assessments and treatments for many psychiatric conditions including depression, anxiety and others. If you have been affected by mental health conditions or life stresses, our doctor can advise on strategies and treatments to help you feel better. If you are dealing with issues that are complex we can advise on where you can get help from other specialists.

The assessment will take approximately an hour. Your doctor will be interested in knowing about how you feel and will look at the reasons behind it. He will then discuss the diagnosis with you and advise on the best course of treatment.

You are welcome to bring a friend or family member with you if you wish. You will also have the opportunity to discuss your problems on your own.

If medication is the best option you will have the chance to discuss the pros and cons of this. You have the option of taking a private prescription (which you will have to pay for) or to ask that your GP be informed to prescribe medication on the NHS. On the other hand if a psychology therapy approach is considered the best approach, you will be given guidance on where to get help
