This episode outlines the comprehensive process of a psychiatric consultation, emphasising that a thorough assessment involves more than just identifying symptoms. It highlights the importance of tackling the human mind, requiring clinicians to display tact, empathy, and genuine respect while building rapport with patients. It details various aspects of the consultation, including gathering extensive personal and family history, conducting a detailed mental state examination to assess current functioning, and using tools like the Mini-Mental State Examination to screen for cognitive impairment. Ultimately, the purpose is to provide a holistic understanding of the patient's condition, moving beyond surface-level complaints to uncover underlying psychological and social factors.
