What Is a Psychiatric Evaluation?

A psychiatric evaluation is a comprehensive medical assessment conducted by a licensed psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner. It is designed to gain a clear understanding of your mental health concerns by carefully reviewing your symptoms, emotional well-being, medical history, mental health history, and any factors that may be affecting your daily life, relationships, or functioning.

During the evaluation, your provider takes time to listen to your concerns, ask detailed questions, and understand your experiences in a supportive and confidential setting. The purpose is not only to identify what you are experiencing, but also to understand how these symptoms impact you personally.

The goal of a psychiatric evaluation is to establish an accurate mental health diagnosis and develop an individualized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
