Read the appointment checklistHow to use this kit
- 1. Keep it manageable. Start with the details you can record consistently, rather than trying to reconstruct every symptom or trigger.
- 2. Bring the context. A score or diary is more useful alongside changes in symptoms, medication response, health history, and your own questions.
- 3. Ask for guidance. A clinician can explain what information is most useful for your situation and what follow-up makes sense.
