Psychiatric Evaluations Specialist Q&A

Psychiatric evaluations may be recommended in the case of substance use, severe mental illness, adjustment issues, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, or other psychiatric needs. The evaluation process is tailored to meet the individual’s needs and typically involves a comprehensive assessment and review of records. Success Health System provides qualified professionals who can provide an objective opinion about the patient’s condition along with treatment recommendations and referrals if needed. This allows for more successful outcomes when addressing serious psychological issues.

During a psychiatric evaluation, the specialist will conduct an assessment of the individual’s mental and physical health. This includes gathering information about any medical or psychological issues as well as family background, social functioning, and current living circumstances. The specialist may also review relevant records and administer tests to gain further insight into the patient’s mental state. After this in-depth process is completed, a diagnosis can be made and treatment recommendations can be provided.

Questions asked in a psychiatric evaluation may include inquiries about the individual’s medical history, current medication or treatment, family background and relationships, past treatments, lifestyle habits, and daily activities. The specialist will also ask questions related to any psychological symptoms such as feelings of sadness or anxiety, changes in behavior or thoughts, and any other issues that may be affecting the patient’s mental health.
