A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation is the first step in the diagnosis and treatment of a patient at New U Therapy Center. A patient’s background and history, combined with a thorough evaluation, produces clinical information necessary for an accurate diagnosis. Mental health disorders are often times complex and involve biological, psychological, and social factors that interact to affect an individual’s mood, feelings, thoughts, and behavior.
About Psychiatry
Psychiatry Can Help You
A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation typically involves standard components; however, an evaluation may change depending on the patient being treated and their specific needs. Depending on your individual needs, your evaluation may include:
- A discussion of physical and psychiatric symptoms being experienced
- A detailed description of behaviors
- How are the behaviors affecting overall life?
- Overview of personal/family history of developmental disorders, emotional disorders, and behavioral disorders
- Complete medical history
- Discussion regarding diagnosis, treatment, and medication management
Medication Management
Medication management is an important part of a patient’s established treatment plan and allows providers to ensure that an individual is receiving optimal therapeutic outcome for the prescribed medications. Our providers carefully monitor and document a patient and their progression with various types of medications.
