Preparation: Before you go to the hospital, you should bring your ID card, Medicare Card (for payment), Water Mug (for water), napkins, Shoulder Bag (for medical records and medications), if you can. If you can find a mature and understanding adult to accompany you to see, there will be a sense of security, someone on the side of the heart will be accompanied by a little more comfortable.
1, the first step, online booking or on-site booking. If you are the first time to go to see a psychologist, you can first pay attention to the public number of the more formal and authoritative hospital you want to go to see, usually hanging psychiatry/psychology, and then you can learn about the relevant information about the psychologist on the Internet, usually online will be those psychologists' specialties, qualifications, work experience, areas of specialization, working hours and so on for the public introduction. You can choose the right psychologist for you according to your actual situation after you know the relevant information clearly. In order to save time, you can register your relevant information online in advance and make an appointment with the psychologist you want to see. If you don't know how to make an appointment online, you can also go to the "registration" window of the hospital earlier to register on site. (It is recommended that you register online, as some specialists are in high demand, and you may not be able to get an appointment on the same day)
2. The second step is to go to a self-service kiosk or ask the medical staff at the reception desk for information about the process of obtaining an appointment. If you're booking online, you'll have to go to the relevant self-service machine in advance of your appointment time. If you're going to the hospital for the first time alone, and you don't know how to operate the self-service machine to get your number or what department to hang up in, you can ask the medical volunteers next to you (generally larger regular hospitals have them) or go to the guidance desk to ask. If you go to the hospital does not have guide staff, you can ask other people in the number of people to help you (keep patience + politeness, the other party does not help if you ask the next person, do not rush, do not panic and do not fight with others ).
3The third step, waiting. After picking up your number and buying your medical record book, you go to the department of the psychiatrist you want to see according to the information on top of the number you've been given. If there are other patients in front of you, then you can find a place to sit down and wait patiently. If there are a lot of people, some hospitals may require you to give your number and casebook to the psychologist's assistant for sorting before waiting for your appointment. (At present, large hospitals departmental entrance have placed a display screen, the screen will show the call information)
3, the fourth step, and the doctor's initial interview. When a doctor or machine calls your number, you can go into the appropriate section to have a preliminary interview with the psychiatrist. (The interview may involve the content: exclude physical symptoms, duration of the disease, physical condition, family history, social behavior, etc.)
5, the fifth step, check test. The psychiatrist, after a preliminary understanding of your situation, may let you go for some physical examination or do some psychological related scales, you have to actively cooperate. If you are not sure, you can ask the doctor (I usually ask the doctor next to the apprentice students, it will be good to ask some of the exit), some tests may have to pay the examination fee (usually the doctor to bill - to pay - to the appropriate floor to queue up to do the examination, see the floor don't run to the wrong place).
6, the sixth step, the psychiatrist diagnosis and treatment. The results of those tests to the doctor to see, the psychiatrist will be based on your situation, may also ask you some related questions and then diagnosis and treatment, if some of the visitors' condition is particularly serious, may also need medication.
7, the seventh step, payment. After diagnosis, if you still need to prescribe medication, you need to take the bill to pay. Some hospitals may also pay the fee before the psychiatrist gives the visitor formal treatment.
8, the eighth step, you may be asked to come back for a follow-up appointment. If the doctor says the problem is more serious and needs a follow-up.
Lastly, I want to say one more thing to you: Don't be afraid of treatment, the state you are currently in, it's not your fault, you're just sick, just like a cold, you have to go to the injection and take medication for a reason, don't be afraid not to feel that you're only one person, the world won't abandon you, so you mustn't give up on yourself, come on!
