A psychiatrist engages in a brief discussion to comprehend the patient's mental and physical health during a consultation. Patients will talk to psychiatrists about their past experiences, traumas, or current concerns. In select cases, they may recommend diagnostic imaging to rule out any brain abnormalities. Treatment plans are suggested based on the findings, which can include medication, therapy, or both.

Although both psychiatrists and psychologists work in the field of mental health, they have different roles and qualifications. Psychiatrists are qualified medical doctors who can diagnose and treat conditions, as well as prescribe medications. Psychologists usually hold doctoral degrees and do not have the qualifications to diagnose and prescribe medications. Their focus is on therapy and counselling. 

Patients should carry a list of current medications, past medical records and any other relevant documents from previous therapists or psychiatrists. It is also important to bring a list of questions or concerns patients have to discuss with them. If patients are visiting a psychiatrist for the first time, a valid government photo ID is enough for registration purposes.

Patients can schedule an appointment with any psychiatrist in EM Bypass, Kolkata, by booking their slot through the website or via a call.
