psychiatric history
Past psychological treatment
A psychiatric history is a record of a person's past mental health conditions, treatments, hospitalizations, and medications.
Medical professionals take a psychiatric history when evaluating patients: The intake form asked about psychiatric history.
The phrase also appears in legal and employment contexts, where disclosure of psychiatric history raises privacy concerns.
