Psychiatric Intake Form
Collect complete patient histories before every psychiatric evaluation, so your team walks into each session with the full clinical picture.
Mental health clinics that rely on paper intake forms often start sessions with incomplete patient histories. Gaps in medication history, prior diagnoses, or crisis contacts don't just slow down a session, they affect clinical decisions. Typeform's psychiatric intake form template gives practices a reliable way to collect complete patient histories before every evaluation.
The form captures patient demographics, presenting concerns, psychiatric and medical history, current medications, prior hospitalizations, and emergency contacts. Typeform presents one question at a time, so the intake feels more like a conversation than a clinical questionnaire. Conditional logic adapts questions based on the patient's presenting concerns. A patient reporting symptoms of depression sees different follow-up questions than one presenting with anxiety or a first-episode psychosis.
Customize the form with your practice name, intake categories, and any required consent or privacy disclosures. Share it via secure email before the appointment or embed it on your patient portal. Every submission logs automatically in Google Sheets or Airtable via Zapier, so clinical records stay organized and accessible. Start every evaluation with the full clinical picture already in hand.
A psychiatric intake form collects the clinical information a mental health provider needs before a patient's first evaluation. It gathers patient demographics, presenting concerns, psychiatric and medical history, current medications, prior hospitalizations, and emergency contacts in one submission. Think of it as the clinical foundation your team builds the treatment plan on.
Starting an evaluation without a complete patient history means spending the session gathering information instead of delivering care. A structured intake form ensures your clinical team has the full picture before the appointment begins. It also creates a documented baseline that informs diagnosis, medication decisions, and care coordination across your team. Use it for first appointments, medication reviews, therapy intakes, and crisis assessments.
A complete psychiatric intake form covers:
- Patient name, date of birth, and contact details
- Presenting concerns and reason for referral
- Psychiatric history (prior diagnoses, hospitalizations, and treatment)
- Medical history and current medications
- Substance use history
- Family psychiatric history
- Suicidal or self-harm history and current safety status
- Emergency contact and crisis plan details
- Consent for treatment and privacy acknowledgment
Set up conditional logic to branch the form by presenting concern, so each patient only sees questions relevant to their situation. A patient presenting with mood symptoms sees targeted follow-up questions about duration, sleep, and prior episodes. Someone presenting for anxiety sees questions about triggers, avoidance behaviors, and physical symptoms instead. This keeps the intake focused without missing clinically relevant detail for any presenting concern.
Typeform collects patient responses on a secure, encrypted platform, keeping sensitive clinical data protected from the moment of submission. You control who has access to intake data inside your Typeform workspace. Connect the form to your EHR or Airtable via Zapier so records stay within your clinical team and out of shared inboxes. Sensitive disclosures, including psychiatric history and safety status, stay off paper from day one.
