Psychiatry Services

A psychiatric consultation at Manor Clinic involves meeting with a psychiatrist who will carefully assess the client’s mental health. During the consultation, the psychiatrist will ask questions about the client’s symptoms, medical history, and any relevant life experiences to reach an accurate diagnosis. Based on this comprehensive evaluation, the psychiatrist will provide treatment recommendations or develop a tailored treatment plan, which may include medications, therapy, or lifestyle changes. The goal is to help clients manage their mental health effectively and improve their overall well-being.

At Manor Clinic, we provide specialized psychiatric assessments required by Transport Canada to determine if individuals are fit for safety-sensitive occupations, such as pilots. These assessments are typically requested when there is a history of psychiatric conditions or the use of psychotropic medications. Our psychiatrists conduct a thorough evaluation of the client’s mental health, including diagnosis, management plan, and prognosis, to ensure compliance with Transport Canada regulations. The results help ensure that clients meet the necessary mental health standards for their roles.

At Manor Clinic, we offer second opinion psychiatric services to provide clients with a comprehensive review of their diagnosis and treatment plan. Whether you’re seeking reassurance, exploring alternative treatment options, or feeling uncertain about your current care, our experienced psychiatrists will thoroughly evaluate your case to offer expert guidance. We aim to provide clarity and confidence, ensuring you receive the most appropriate care for your mental health needs.

A capacity assessment for guardianship or trusteeship is a formal evaluation to determine an individual’s ability to make decisions about their personal care or finances. This assessment is necessary when concerns arise about an individual’s decision-making capacity due to mental or cognitive impairments. A psychiatrist or other qualified assessor conducts a thorough examination of the individual’s mental and cognitive functioning to determine their capacity to make decisions independently. The results guide legal authorities in deciding whether a guardian or trustee should be appointed to manage their affairs. For more information on the process, visit the Alberta Capacity Assessment page or the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee.
