Frequently Asked Questions
A psychiatric evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of your mental health, conducted to understand your symptoms, mental health history, and overall well-being. It helps in diagnosing any mental health conditions and creating a personalized treatment plan.
During the evaluation, you’ll have a confidential conversation with a mental health professional who will ask about your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and any previous treatment experiences. The process may also include questionnaires or psychological tests.
A psychiatric evaluation typically takes between 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of your symptoms and the amount of information needed.
After the evaluation, your provider will discuss the findings with you, including any diagnoses and recommended treatment options. This may include medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, or a combination of these.
Coverage for psychiatric evaluations varies by insurance provider. We recommend contacting your insurance company to confirm whether this service is covered under your plan.
While some diagnoses can be made during the initial evaluation, more complex cases may require additional sessions or testing before a definitive diagnosis is reached.
