Counseling and assessment with a psychiatrist
A psychiatrist is a licensed physician who has undergone residency in psychiatry or child and adolescent psychiatry. A psychiatrist has a medical understanding for mental diseases, neuropsychiatric disabilities, and mental and physical illnesses.
As psychiatric disorders sometimes depend on underlying physical illnesses, the psychiatrist makes an evaluation in order to exclude or confirm such conditions. Being a medical doctor, the psychiatrist has the possibility to prescribe medications.
Here are some of the services we offer:
- Counseling
- Evaluation of psychiatric conditions
e.g. ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, tics, eating disorder, sleep disorder, and suspected immunopsychiatric conditions - Medication/drug prescription
e.g. ADHD-medication, anti-depressive medication and medication för sleep regulation. If your doctor’s appointment is a first-time visit and includes a prescription, the appointment needs to take place in person at the clinic. - Certificates
- Recommendations for further treatment and interventions
- Referrals to other specialist care units
During your first visit, you and the psychiatrist will discuss the best way forward. If you have requests for medical treatment or certificates, the psychiatrist will decide if it is applicable.
At our clinics in Gothenburg and Malmö, we provide counseling and assessment with a psychiatrist for children and young people up to the age of 25. At our clinic in Stockholm, we provide counseling and assessment with a psychiatrist for all ages – children, adolescents, and adults.
