I'd doing a school project in which I have to write a psychiatrist report. I'm not too sure how to write one. Could someone provide me some subtitles that I could follow or perhaps a link. Thanks :)

This is much too broad. What is the purpose of this report? Why is a psychiatrist writing a report?

Basically, I read a book and I have to write a psychiatric report on the main character of the novel. I have to explain the personality of the character, make reference to certain events in the novel,how the character deals with problems and give a professional opinion of how the character's future will be and if he'll be suffereing from anything like paranoia or such.

I suggest you write this as an ordinary report. Start with an introductory paragraph, including a thesis sentence. Then write at least four body paragraphs supporting your thesis. End with a conclusion including your prognostications.

A psychiatric report includes basic demographic data (age, sex, etc.), the presenting problems (why the patient is consulting the psychiatrist), brief patient history, tests administered and their results, and the conclusions reached (diagnosis and prognosis).
Although you can't provide all that data, I hope it gives you a better idea for organizing your "psychiatric report." Thanks for asking.
