🌎 In honor of World Health Day, we’re answering a common question about getting started.
Your first appointment is a starting point where your provider will get a general understanding of what brings you in and what you’ve been experiencing.
🛋️ In counseling, this typically involves exploring what’s been going on, what feels most important to you, and what you’d like support with.
🩺 In psychiatry, it often includes a review of your symptoms and history, along with a discussion of treatment options, including medication when appropriate.
The goal is to get a clear picture of your needs and determine what kind of support will be most helpful moving forward. World Health Day reminds us that taking care of our mental health is an important part of overall well-being!
