Mental health care providers collect and interpret patient information to perform assessments and diagnoses. They develop and implement treatment plans for a range of mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, personality and behavioural disorders, phobias, post-traumatic stress, and more.
The treating doctor monitors patients’ progress and liaises with other healthcare professionals to adjust treatment plans as required. This can also include meetings with family members and caregivers to discuss treatment plans and appropriate management techniques.
