Three Stages of Care

1

assessment

Figuring out what might be wrong - that's the first step in your psychiatric care. In the first appointment, expect many targeted questions related to your experience, both recent and historical. The overarching goal is to establish a complete picture of where you're at - and how this compares to well-established objective criteria for determining mental disorders.

2

education

Knowledge about what ails you is critical to overcoming it. Hence, at Apraku Psychiatry, we place great emphasis on psycho-education. This refers to the process of teaching you about the science underlying your condition - both the neuro-biology and the socialization or conditioning - and what this means for the path towards getting better.

3

treatment

Treatment options may include prescribed medication. This is likely to go hand-in-hand with recommendations for lifestyle adaptations and nutritional supplements. We may also refer you to a trusted therapist for a specific type of targeted therapy. In regular follow-up appointments, your doctor will assess progress and refine treatment.

Inclusive Practice

In math, the symbol ∀ means "for all". At Apraku Psychiatry, that's exactly what we're going for. All adults are welcomed regardless of background.

Notwithstanding our commitment to inclusivity, younger and older patients may be better served by a psychiatrist who is sub-specialized in treating these populations. For this reason, we don't take on patients younger than 17, as certain psychiatrists have sub-specialty training in treating children and adolescents. Also, depending on their presenting symptoms, seniors may be more suited to seeing a psychiatrist who is sub-specialized in geriatric psychiatry.
