Finding the right Psychiatrist or Psychologist for you can be daunting and confusing. It is important to select one who is skilled in the latest treatments, and familiar with current research.

The psychiatrist should be calm and understanding and should take an interest in you and what is troubling you. They should give you confidence that they have understood what you have told them, and are able to explain the treatment that you need, leaving you feeling that your concerns and opinions have been respected and that you have been treated with dignity, where respect for patient rights and privacy are utmost important. On a more fundamental level, you need to find a Psychiatrist with whom you will be comfortable sharing your inner-most concerns fears and hopes.
