A comprehensive: Medical and mental history will be obtained. A physical examination is usually peformed and it is likely that laboratory tests will be done. If the person is suicidal or homicidal- they will likely be maintained on a watch. Many wards offer individual and group therapy as well as options like occupational therapy, art therapy, music therapy and psychotropic medication managment.
