A psychologist can assess psychological functioning and support therapeutic processes in cases such as:
- depression;

A consultation appointment should be attended in the case of first alarming symptoms, such as:

- loss of appetite;
- low libido;
- troublesome sleeping disorders, including insomnia or increased drowsiness and fatigue;
- fatigue;

During the first appointment, the psychologist will ask you about the reason for the patient’s visit as well as ask questions about the patient’s expectations, family relations, social interactions, employment situation, etc. A diagnosis may require more than one or two appointments. Problems related to the human psyche require detailed analysis. Information about some of the issues is given by the patient himself/herself, while s/he is not aware of others. Then, the role of the psychologist is to help the patient to exteriorise such issues. To make a diagnosis, the specialist must be familiar with the patient’s situation, have information about the patient’s past, family, lifestyle, health, addictions, etc.
In some situations, to make a diagnosis, it is necessary to undergo additionally paid diagnostic tests that require separate appointments.
A psychologist does not provide pharmacological treatment and is not authorised to issue sick notes.
The first appointment with a psychologist is usually the beginning of cooperation and diagnostic process which leads to a specific therapy being offered for the patient.
