Residents of Texas must enroll as patients at Silva Psychiatric Care in order to consult with Dr. Silva.  All other individuals may schedule one-time, private, one-on-one non-medical Q&A sessions.  How do these sessions differ from a psychiatric evaluation in the context of a doctor-patient consultation?  Firstly and most importantly, booking a question-and-answer session will not establish a doctor-patient relationship; Dr. Silva can only legally establish such a relationship with individuals who reside in Texas.  Other clients will be required to sign a detailed waiver acknowledging this fact.  Although Dr. Silva will be available to answer any and all questions you may have about mental health, and mental health treatment–including as they may specifically pertain to your situation–you will not be formally examined, no definitive diagnoses will be rendered, and no treatments prescribed. While Dr. Silva will not perform a mental status examination and no diagnosis will be made, you will have the opportunity to ask about specific elements of your own history and/or treatment, and your session can certainly include a discussion of all of the possible conditions certain target symptoms might indicate, and the available treatment options, including the pros and cons of using specific pharmacologic agents, insofar as that information would pertain to any individual in your demographic. This one-time, non-medical consultation is limited to 40-minutes, but multiple sessions can be reserved, if more time is desired.  If you are currently working with a mental health provider, Dr. Silva encourages you to take the information you gain from this conference back to your own practitioner for further discussion, clarification and possible application.  These coaching sessions were inspired by the very many requests for consultation Dr. Silva has received from individuals all over the world, who are unable to establish a doctor-patient relationship with, or receive actual treatment from, Dr. Silva himself, but who would nonetheless benefit from better understanding their own mental health journeys and any medications they may be taking or may have tried.  The discussion might also include why you may have responded to certain agents in a particular manner.  Although Dr. Silva will answer questions about mental health and mental health treatment insofar as they might apply to anyone, he will nonetheless be able to take into consideration demographic and other variables specific to your situation, in order to best answer those questions.  Where the answers to certain queries might be complex, and depend upon a host of variables, in hearing your story Dr. Silva will be able to tailor those answers to best align with your situation.
