What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

As a psychiatrist, there are two basic components to a psychiatric assessment-biopsychosocial assessment and the mental status exam. However, in treatment methods, the patient should be accepted as he/she is, and self-understanding should be used as a therapeutic tool as the practitioner should be in a position to identify his feelings and understand how he affects the situation. Again, the treatment method of utilizing consistency to contribute to patient security should be employed as well, and reassurance must be given suitably and acceptably. With all that, the patient will have sense of belonging. I utilize standardized systems/tools that help to identify and gauge the extent of specific conditions and provide a fair approach in response.
