They will also ask you about your physical health conditions and may want to know about any other issues that may you may be suffering from, such as blood pressure, diabetes, allergies, etc. This gives them a chance to thoroughly assess your mental and physical health conditions, before the final diagnosis, which then determines the medicines that will be used in your treatment.
