Adult psychiatry consultation assesses mental health symptoms affecting mood, thinking, behaviour and everyday functioning. A psychiatrist reviews medical history, psychosocial factors and relevant symptoms before recommending treatment. Management may include medication, psychoeducation, psychological therapy referral and follow-up depending on the diagnosis.
Depression may cause persistent low mood, loss of interest, fatigue, sleep changes and reduced functioning. Assessment considers symptom severity and possible medical or psychological contributors. Treatment may include psychotherapy, medication or a combination of approaches, with regular monitoring of response and safety.
Anxiety disorders may involve excessive worry, fear, restlessness, physical tension or avoidance that interferes with daily activities. Treatment depends on the diagnosis and severity and can include cognitive behavioural therapy, appropriate medication and strategies for managing symptoms and improving functioning.
Geriatric psychiatry addresses mental health concerns in older adults, including depression, anxiety, behavioural symptoms and conditions that may coexist with cognitive impairment. Assessment considers physical illnesses, medications, social circumstances and functional abilities. Treatment is tailored to the individual's needs and safety.
Persistent stress may affect sleep, concentration, mood and physical wellbeing. Psychiatric assessment evaluates the circumstances contributing to symptoms and screens for associated mental health conditions. Management may involve coping strategies, behavioural interventions, counselling support and treatment of any underlying psychiatric disorder.
Performance-related mental health consultation may address anxiety, concentration difficulties, stress and emotional factors affecting work or other activities. Assessment aims to identify modifiable concerns and relevant psychiatric conditions. Support may involve behavioural strategies, psychological interventions and medical treatment where appropriate.
Substance use disorders involve repeated use of alcohol or other substances despite harmful consequences. Psychiatric care evaluates dependence, withdrawal risk, associated mental health conditions and motivation for change. Treatment may include medically supervised withdrawal, medication, counselling and relapse-prevention support.
Smoking cessation support helps individuals reduce and stop tobacco use through behavioural strategies and appropriate medical treatment. Assessment considers nicotine dependence, previous quit attempts and possible withdrawal symptoms. Counselling, approved medicines and regular follow-up may improve the likelihood of sustained abstinence.
Psychosexual medicine evaluates sexual concerns where psychological, relationship-related or medical factors may contribute to symptoms. Assessment includes confidential discussion and consideration of relevant health conditions or medications. Treatment depends on the diagnosis and may involve counselling, medical care or specialist referral.
Consultation-liaison psychiatry addresses mental health concerns occurring alongside medical or surgical conditions. It may involve assessing emotional responses to illness, psychiatric symptoms during hospitalisation and the interaction between physical treatments and psychiatric medication. Care is coordinated with the treating medical team.
Mental health support helps patients understand symptoms, treatment choices and coping approaches. A psychiatrist may provide psychoeducation and supportive counselling or refer patients to trained psychological therapists for specialised interventions. The care plan depends on clinical needs and individual preferences.
Psychiatric follow-up evaluates symptom changes, treatment response, medication tolerability and ongoing functional needs. Regular appointments allow clinicians to adjust management, discuss adverse effects and address relapse warning signs. The review schedule depends on the diagnosis, treatment stage and clinical stability.
