Forensic psychiatry is the branch of psychiatry that evaluates the mental state of individuals within a legal framework. As a specialist in this field, I prepare psychiatric expert reports for judicial proceedings, collaborating with lawyers and courts to assess psychological and psychiatric factors.
We assess criminal responsibility through interviews, diagnostic tests, and medical history to determine criminal liability and competency to testify.
We evaluate disabilities from psychological harm (accidents, PTSD, depression) using interviews and questionnaires to create reports supporting compensation claims.
We analyze parental fitness in custody, separation, or gender-violence cases through testing and observing the family environment.
We provide guidance to prepare witnesses, shape legal strategies based on psychiatric factors, and coordinate with other forensic specialists.
