01Psychiatric assessment, descriptive psychopathology and formulation
A psychiatric assessment begins with a person’s concerns, priorities and account of what has changed. Establish chronology, baseline functioning, sleep, physical symptoms, medicines, substance exposure, relationships and relevant developmental history.
401 words, about 2 min02Mood syndromes, longitudinal diagnosis and recovery planning
Mood assessment is longitudinal. Persistent low mood, loss of interest, changes in sleep or appetite, energy, psychomotor activity, concentration, guilt and thoughts of death must be interpreted together with duration, severity and functional impact.
420 words, about 2 min03Psychosis, differential diagnosis and ongoing care
Psychosis describes a group of experiences and disturbances rather than one diagnosis. Delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking and behavior, negative symptoms and altered functioning can occur in different combinations.
395 words, about 2 min04Anxiety, obsessive-compulsive and trauma-related formulations
Anxiety assessment identifies the feared situation or consequence, the person’s predictions, bodily sensations, avoidance and safety behaviors. Panic attacks are abrupt surges of fear and physical symptoms; an attack alone is not the same as panic disorder.
406 words, about 2 min05Substance-related, cognitive and liaison assessment
Substance-related assessment establishes what was used, the amount and pattern reported, timing, route, prescribed and nonprescribed medicines, previous withdrawal, physical illness and the person’s reasons for use. Intoxication, withdrawal, dependence and a substance-induced psychiatric syndrome are distinct possibilities.
415 words, about 2 min06Psychotherapy models, learning processes and therapeutic communication
Psychotherapy begins with a working alliance, an agreed purpose and a formulation of the person’s difficulties. The practitioner should explain the proposed approach, its likely demands, alternatives and relevant limits, and review whether it remains useful.
405 words, about 2 min07Treatment principles, adverse effects and medication monitoring
Treatment choices require a responsible clinician to integrate diagnosis, severity, prior response, comorbid physical illness, pregnancy considerations, interactions, preferences and practical access. A medication class name is not a complete prescription, and an apparently familiar medicine may have a different risk in a new patient.
420 words, about 2 min08Developmental and child-adolescent psychiatric assessment
A child or adolescent assessment considers development, current functioning, physical health, communication, relationships and the environments in which difficulties occur. The young person’s account, caregiver observations, school information and direct clinical observations can each contribute something different.
415 words, about 2 min09Ethical care, safety formulation and service coordination
Ethical mental-health practice connects respect, competence, honesty, proportionality and the person’s welfare. Discuss the purpose of assessment or treatment, professional roles, expected processes, fees where relevant, foreseeable limitations and information sharing in language the person can understand.
