First visit to a psychologist - how to prepare?

It is not necessary to prepare for a visit to a psychologist in any specific way. If you find it helpful, before the visit you can write down what you want to say to the specialist and what questions to ask.

What does a visit to a psychologist look like?

The first visit to a psychologist is usually the beginning of the cooperation and diagnostic process.

Mental problems require detailed analysis, so during your first visit to a psychologist you will have a long conversation with the specialist. He will inquire about the reason for the consultation, and then ask questions about your life situation, family and social relations, work, health, lifestyle, habits, etc. (depending on what he deems relevant). He will then provide the support you need and make recommendations for further treatment.

Making a diagnosis may require more than one or two visits. In some situations, it is necessary to perform additional paid diagnostic tests, requiring separate visits.

A psychologist is a specialist with the appropriate qualifications to provide psychological assistance; he or she is also authorized to issue psychological judgments and opinions. However, he cannot issue sick leave or prescriptions for medication. He also does not provide psychotherapy unless he has additional qualifications as a psychotherapist.

Psychologist - telemedicine

A telemedicine consultation can be used by any patient, regardless of location and previous treatment history. During the consultation, the specialist will carry out all services that can be performed remotely. However, during the course of the interview, it may turn out that an inpatient visit is necessary, without which a correct diagnosis cannot be made.  When you book an appointment identified as a Teleportation, you are purchasing a telephone consultation, not an in-person visit to a facility. The facility addresses displayed in the schedule only indicate where the specialist works. When purchasing a consultation, we strongly urge you to use a telephone number registered in Poland - telemedicine consultation is only possible from a Polish telephone number.
