Past medical and psychiatric history; previous mental health problems, every needed
medication, every needs hospital admission, every needed MHA?
Medications; allergies
Social; who do you live with, work? Hobbies and interests? (how is this affecting
your day to day functioning, if not already asked)
Alcohol, smoking, illicit substances (and legal highs)
Family history of mental illness
Must ask about history of and current thoughts of self harm and suicide, every
time.

perception), how do you know this is happening
 Is this a fixed belief (delusion)
