Our specialists in Dubai Healthcare City can help diagnose and treat these conditions effectively.
What can I expect during my first psychiatric appointment?
During your first visit, our psychiatrist will take a detailed history of your mental and physical health, discuss your current symptoms, and explore any contributing factors such as lifestyle or past experiences. The session typically lasts 60 minutes and may include recommendations for therapy, medication, or further evaluations. Our team ensures a welcoming and judgment-free environment for all patients.
