What is Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation?
A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation may be necessary to diagnose a number of emotional, behavioral, or developmental disorders. An evaluation of a child, adolescent, or adult is made based on behaviors present and in relation to physical, genetic, environmental, social, cognitive (thinking), emotional, and educational components that may be affected as a result of the behaviors presented. We have the best psychiatrist in Mesa Arizona for the evaluation.
Who is evaluated?
Many times, families, spouses, or friends are the first to suspect that their loved one is challenged by feelings, behaviors, and/or environmental conditions that cause them to act disruptive, rebellious, or sad. This may include, but is not limited to, problems with relationships with friends and/or family members, work, school, sleeping, eating, substance abuse, emotional expression, development, coping, attentiveness, and responsiveness. It is important for families who suspect a problem in one or more of these areas to seek treatment as soon as possible. With the best psychiatrist in Mesa Arizona treatment for these mental health disorders is available
Evaluation may include the following:
- Description of behaviors present (i.e., when do the behaviors occur, how long does the behavior last, what are the conditions in which the behaviors most often occur)
- Description of symptoms noted (physical and psychiatric symptoms)
Effects of behaviors/symptoms as related to the following:
- Work performance, school performance, relationships and interactions with others (i.e., spouse, co-workers, family members, neighbors), family involvement, activity involvement.
