Psychiatrist Evaluation and Treatment

The symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, and other conditions can be made worse by lifestyle choices, sleep deprivation, and stressful situations can also affect the severity of your symptoms.

During a psychiatric evaluation, a psychiatrist, or another qualified medical professional, will interview you. The goal of a general psychiatric evaluation is to establish whether a diagnosis is present that requires treatment, collect data in support of a diagnosis, create a treatment plan or assess the need for immediate intervention, and identify any longer-term issues that require follow-up care to help you overcome your current symptoms.
