I'm going to a doctor tomorrow to get a physical for the child mental treatment services(do check if there is anything they should know before they start treating me)
I have never had one before,and im not sure if its the same as a normal one they have in other countries
What should i expect?

I've never heard of needing a physical before your get mental treatment? Are you going into a hospital for a while? If so then it would kind of make sense. I guess this is just to cover their backs, to make sure your in good health before they start treating you for anything. I would not imagine that the physical would be any different to a normal one.

They will prbably take your height and weight, vital signs such as blood pressure, pulse, heart rate etcetera, inspect your eyes, ears and teeth as well as an abdominal exam, maybe some blood tests as well as some questions. Also they may inspect your genitals for hernia or anything else so dont be shocked if they ask you to strip off.

Hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck.
