Psychiatric Evaluations For Your Health

A psychiatric evaluation helps the patient and provider understand current symptoms, health history, functioning, safety concerns and treatment needs. The evaluation may include a review of medical and behavioral health history, current and previous medications, substance use, family history, sleep, mood, daily functioning and personal goals.

What is a Psychiatric Evaluation?

A psychiatric evaluation is a comprehensive clinical assessment conducted by a psychiatrist, psychiatric nurse practitioner, or other licensed mental health provider to diagnose mental health conditions and guide treatment. It typically involves a detailed review of the patient's symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, family history, current life circumstances, and sometimes physical or lab findings. The goal is to understand the nature and severity of any mental health concerns and to develop an accurate diagnosis, which then informs a personalized treatment plan — which may include therapy, medication management, or other interventions.

What to Expect

• A confidential discussion of current concerns and symptoms

• Review of medical, psychiatric and medication history

• Assessment of daily functioning and safety

• Discussion of possible diagnoses when clinically appropriate

• Personalized treatment recommendations

• Referrals or coordination with other providers when needed

A psychiatric evaluation does not automatically result in a diagnosis or prescription. Recommendations are based on clinical findings, medical necessity and shared decision-making.
