What is psychiatry? It is a branch of medicine concerned with the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioural disorders.
What does the psychiatrist do? They use therapeutic approaches (including pharmacological therapy and psychotherapy) to help people manage and overcome their mental and emotional problems.
What is a psychiatric consultation? The psychiatric consultation is a discussion between a psychiatrist and the patient, aimed at assessing the patient’s mental state and investigating problems of a psychological, physical, or behavioural nature. The specialist rules out physical disorders, identifies early signs of psychiatric conditions, evaluates the prescription of therapies, or modifies ongoing treatments. Multiple appointments are sometimes necessary — including in the presence of family members — before the assessment is concluded.
