Request an AppointmentWhat to Expect During Your Evaluation
During a psychiatric evaluation, you may be asked a wide range of questions so that your doctor can understand how your history and present circumstances affect your well-being. Both physical and psychiatric symptoms are discussed so your doctor can assess their impact on important areas of life such as work, school, relationships, and family. Your personal and family history of emotional, behavioral, and developmental concerns may also be part of the conversation.
Once your doctor has thoroughly evaluated your responses, they can make an accurate diagnosis and offer treatment recommendations. Treatment may involve therapy, medication, or a combination of solutions designed specifically around what will work best for you. Our psychiatrists are specially trained in treating psychiatric and behavioral disorders, including through the use of medication when appropriate.
If your doctor determines that a particular medication may help, they will prescribe it only after fully understanding all facets of your specific condition, and ongoing medication management ensures the treatment continues to work well for you. Because a comprehensive evaluation often reveals related concerns such as anxiety or depression, our integrated approach ensures every aspect of your mental health is addressed. Take the first step toward clarity and healing by calling (754) 294-4357 or requesting an appointment online today.
