During your first appointment, I will review your concerns, symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, medications, sleep, lifestyle, and treatment goals. We will discuss how your symptoms affect your daily life, relationships, work, or school. After the evaluation, I will explain my findings and discuss treatment options with you. Together, we will develop a plan that may include medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, laboratory testing, or coordination with other healthcare providers. Follow-up visits are used to review your progress, monitor symptoms, discuss concerns, and update the treatment plan when needed. When medication is recommended, I will explain why it may help, how to take it, possible side effects, expected benefits, and available alternatives. During follow-up visits, I will monitor how well the medication is working and whether you are having side effects. The medication may be continued, increased, decreased, or changed based on your response and safety needs.
