Diagnosis & Psychoeducation Programme

Service Description

1. What is this about? The Diagnosis & Psychoeducation Programme is an informational intervention for people with mental health difficulties. The purpose of this programme is to provide the best possible clinical assessment, to identify the individual needs of each patient and to provide an initial and also a very thorough diagnostic examination. It also aims to educate the patient about the diagnostic process and its findings. Its ultimate purpose is to operate as a precursor of the patient’s therapy. The program was developed at the University of London, Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London by Dr. Yanni Malliaris and his colleagues. 2. What does it offer? • Clinical assessment of the person’s present mental health condition. • Clinical assessment of the person’s mental health needs. • Systematic recording (documentation) of the person’s mental health history. • Psychometric assessment of the person’s present condition and mental health history. • Diagnosis with the use of validated psychometric tools and structured interviews. • Education and guidance about the person’s diagnosis and their clinical needs. • Referral to the most appropriate specialist therapeutic program offered by BipolarLab or by an external professional/mental health center that specialises in whatever therapy will be most suited to the clinical needs of the patient. • Continuous monitoring of the clinical condition (status) and the course of the patient’s therapy (see Prodromos-Monitoring). The clinical assessment and diagnosis service enables people with mental health difficulties to make a systematic assessment of their mental status and to become educated about their diagnosis (if any) and their therapeutic choices. The results of the program can be also useful to other health professionals with whom the patient works and of course, for the patient’s relatives who often wish for a more thorough and comprehensive update on the patient's diagnosis and clinical needs. The use of the results, as well as their dissemination to third parties (relatives, professionals) is always a private matter and is entirely the patient's choice. BipolarLab will never divulge any information to third parties without the patient's consent.
