To Healthier Minds offers expert psychiatric assessments conducted by seasoned physician associates. Our assessments comprehensively evaluate individuals’ mental states, symptoms, and provide tailored treatment recommendations.
Our Assessment Process:
- Thorough History Taking: We delve into personal, medical, psychiatric, family, social, and developmental histories through structured clinical interviews.
- Mental Status Examination (MSE): Our professionals assess cognitive, emotional, and psychological functioning, including risk evaluation for harm to self or others.
- Collateral Information Gathering: With client consent, we gather insights from family, caregivers, or healthcare providers.
- Differential Diagnosis: Our systematic approach identifies likely causes of symptoms by considering various diagnoses and relevant information.
Time Constraints of General Practitioners (GP’s)
We understand the time constraints of general practitioners’ appointments and prioritise efficient diagnosis and referrals to appropriate mental health services. Given the brief 10-minute appointments, GPs face challenges in completing full psychiatric assessments. Mental health evaluations require time and attention that may exceed the typical duration of a GP visit, making it difficult for GPs to address the nuanced complexities of various forms of mental health problems.
Expertise in Mental Health Assessment
Recognising the challenges individuals face with long waiting times to see a GP, especially regarding suspected mental health problems, our psychiatric assessments expedite evaluation processes, enabling earlier intervention and support crucial for effective management.
Physician Associates (PAs) play a vital role in bridging the gap between individuals and necessary mental health expertise. They bring extensive knowledge and clinical acumen to the diagnostic process, assisting in identifying key symptoms and differentiating mental health conditions from other health issues.
