The 60-Minute Psychiatry Appointment Breakdown

Before You Log In:

1. Secure a private space where you can talk freely. Even your car parked in a Purdue University garage works just fine.
2. Ensure you have a stable Wi-Fi connection.
3. Have your government photo ID ready.

Minutes 1–5 (The Technical Handshake): A quick housekeeping check to verify your identity and confirm your physical presence within Indiana state lines, as required by state law.

Minutes 5–40 (The Clinical Intake): A collaborative discussion about your mental health history, current stressors (such as academic pressures or life transitions), and defining what "feeling better" uniquely means to you.

Minutes 40–60 (The Plan & Next Steps): Discussing initial impressions and building an evidence-based treatment plan. If medication is prescribed, it will be routed electronically to a local pharmacy you choose, like the Purdue University Pharmacy, the CVS at 720 Northwestern Avenue, or the Meijer on US-52 before you even hang up.
