Frequently asked questions
What can I anticipate from my initial appointment?
Your first appointment is an opportunity for us to get to know you and understand what has brought you to seek care. The consultation is designed to provide a thorough assessment of your mental health.
This consultation helps build a picture of your mental health and allows your psychiatrist to recommend the most appropriate treatment options. Together, you will develop a personalized plan that reflects your needs, preferences, and goals for recovery and ongoing wellness.
How do I know if I need to see a psychiatrist?
If emotional or psychological symptoms are affecting your daily functioning, relationships, or well-being, a psychiatric assessment can help determine appropriate support.
What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?
Psychiatrists and psychologists are both mental health professionals who support people experiencing emotional, psychological, and behavioural challenges, but their training and approaches are different.
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who has specialised training in mental health. Psychiatrists assess, diagnose, and treat mental health conditions and can prescribe medication when appropriate. They consider how biological, psychological, and social factors may influence a person’s mental health and can provide ongoing medical management.
A psychologist is a mental health professional who specialises in understanding thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Psychologists provide psychological assessments and therapy to help individuals manage difficulties, develop coping skills, improve relationships, and make positive changes in their lives. Psychologists generally do not prescribe medication.
Many people benefit from a combination of psychiatric care and psychological therapy. Depending on your needs, a psychiatrist and psychologist may work together as part of a comprehensive approach to supporting your mental health.
Will I be prescribed medication?
Medication is prescribed only when clinically appropriate and is discussed collaboratively with the patient.
