The first few sessions typically involve a comprehensive evaluation of your needs. By the end of the evaluation, your doctor will be able to offer you some initial impressions of what treatment might include. At that point, you will both discuss your treatment goals and create an initial treatment plan. The treatment plan is likely to include a combination of psychotherapy and medication. You should evaluate this information and make your own assessment about whether you feel comfortable working with such a plan and with your psychiatrist.
