Medically necessary consultations, diagnostic assessments, and medication management provided by a licensed Psychiatrist like Wilson are generally covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON when a referral from a family doctor is in place. Coverage for psychotherapy services provided by a psychiatrist can vary; some provinces cover it, while others may have limitations or it may be part of hospital-based programs. Specific medications may also require special authorization or be subject to formulary restrictions. It's crucial to discuss coverage specifics for therapy or any specialized treatments with Wilson's office or Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP).

Do I need a referral to see Wilson, a Psychiatrist?

Yes, a referral from your family physician or another medical doctor (e.g., a pediatrician for child psychiatry, or an ER physician for urgent assessment) is almost always required to see a Psychiatrist such as Wilson for services covered by the provincial health plan. Mental health conditions often benefit from initial assessment by a primary care provider who can determine the need for specialist psychiatric care. The referral ensures coordinated care, appropriate triaging, and transfer of relevant medical history.

What if I experience side effects from medication prescribed by Wilson?

It's common for psychotropic medications to have potential side effects, especially when starting a new medication or adjusting a dose. Wilson will discuss common side effects to watch for. If you experience side effects, it's very important to communicate this to Wilson or her office promptly. Do not stop taking your medication suddenly unless instructed to do so by Wilson, as this can sometimes cause withdrawal symptoms or a worsening of your condition. Wilson can help manage side effects by adjusting the dosage, switching to a different medication, or suggesting strategies to mitigate them.

How can I prepare for my first appointment with Wilson?

For your first psychiatric appointment with Wilson, it's helpful to gather some information beforehand. Try to make a list of your main concerns, symptoms (including when they started, how often they occur, and their intensity), and any significant life events or stressors. Bring a list of all current medications (psychiatric and non-psychiatric), including dosages, as well as any past psychiatric medications you've tried and your experience with them. Information about your family history of mental health conditions can also be very useful. Be prepared to discuss your personal history, social situation, and coping strategies. Writing down any questions you have for Wilson can also ensure you get the most out of your consultation.
