assessmentFiguring out what's wrong - that's the first step in your psychiatric care. In the first appointment, expect 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 objective criteria for establishing a diagnosis. |
2educationKnowledge about what ails you is critical to overcoming it. Hence, at Apraku Psychiatry, we place great emphasis on psycho-education, which 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. |
3treatmentTreatment options may include prescribed medication and targeted therapy. This two-pronged approach is likely to go hand-in-hand with recommendations for lifestyle adaptations and nutritional supplements. In regular follow-up appointments, your doctor will assess progress and refine treatment. |

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 under 18, 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. |
