psychiatric interviews

A psychiatric interview is a conversation with a mental health professional aimed at understanding a person's thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and overall mental state. It involves asking questions about mood, thoughts, habits, relationships, and experiences to identify any mental health concerns. The goal is to gather accurate information to diagnose possible conditions and develop an appropriate treatment plan. The interview creates a safe, supportive environment where the individual can share openly, helping the clinician understand how mental health issues may be affecting their life and how best to assist them.
