The first visit or session is known as a Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation and may take 45-60 minutes on average. It involves a detailed interview with the patient and may often include collateral information from the patient's family or friends. Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation includes a detailed psychiatric history, medical history, social history, developmental history, family history, substance abuse history, and mental status examination. It also includes a differential diagnosis and provisional diagnosis per DSM V-TR. Finally, it includes a treatment plan. A follow-up visit is shorter than a first visit and may take 15-30 minutes. It involves obtaining interval history and determining response to medication or therapy. It also includes assessment for possible medication side effects and adjustment of dose, if necessary.

It may be helpful to ask your psychiatrist the following questions during an appointment: • What is my diagnosis and how did you arrive at it? • How much experience do you have in treating my condition? • What are my treatment options? • When can I expect to feel better? • How will I know if I am feeling better? • What should I do if I feel worse? • When do I contact you with an emergency related to my condition? • What are the possible side effects of my medication? • Will you work with my other healthcare providers?
