Hi there,
A detailed medical and psychiatric history is always needed for every patient.In addition, a detailed mental status examination is also recommended for every patient to come for a diagnosis and management of the symptoms accordingly.
Next Steps
It’s necessary to rule out some of the medical illnesses to come for a diagnosis but I still feel, a mental health professional will be better for the consultation in your case.
