the help of a psychotherapist in the MCSC. How to prepare for admission
NewsBefore the first visit to a psychiatrist, patients may have anxiety and worry about questions.
This is largely due to various stereotypes about the methods of treating diseases that remain relevant even now.
Consider some of them.
I'm afraid to get so excited that I'll forget everything.Before the meeting, you can make a list of what is bothering you: write it down in a notebook or make a note on your phone.
Don't worry about the wording: just write down everything that comes to mind about complaints and condition.I am worried that it will be difficult to speak and I will be silent with the doctor.
One of the main tools of a psychotherapist is a conversation.
The doctor will guide you in discussing your condition and ask the necessary questions in order to understand the situation in detail.
I am not sure that I want to take drugs, but they will be prescribed to me right away.It is not at all necessary that the doctor will prescribe medication therapy at the very first meeting or say that this is mandatory treatment.
The purpose of the specialist is to understand what condition is bothering you and to make a treatment plan.
Often an additional examination is required (for example, a pathopsychological examination by a psychologist or a consultation with a somatic specialist).
In some cases, drug therapy may be necessary, but in many situations a specialist will prescribe psychotherapy.And in conclusion, an important question: what to take with you to the reception?
Extracts, medical reports, examinations (concerning any diseases and conditions – gastroenterological, gynecological, cardiological, after surgical treatment, etc.).
- It is necessary to inform the doctor whether you regularly take any medications (name, dosage, duration of administration).
- Information about somatic diseases in the family will also be useful (several cases of one disease or early age of onset): have your relatives had any difficulties with mental health (depression and other disorders, pathological addictions)?
