This page contains a checklist of forms that will be important to bring to your first session. Having these forms completed will save us time and allow us to work together as efficiently as possible. In addition to saving time, these forms will help me to get to know you. (These files and many others are available on the Self Help for Mood Disorders page.) |

If you believe you have a Mood Disorder... It would be very helpful to have you complete two other forms before your visit:
The Weekly Mood Graph will give me a picture of your daily mood shifts,
while the NIMH Retrospective Life Chart will give me a picture of the
history of your mood disorder including important markers such as major
episodes, hospitalizations, major life events, starting medications,
stopping medications, changes in medication and any use of alcohol or
other substances. More information on how to do mood charting
is available in the "Mood
Charting Manual". We are likely to spend 1-2 extended sessions together to complete an initial assessment of your problems. These materials will be very helpful in our initial assessment together and in helping me understand your history.
