What will the doctor ask about during a psychiatric evaluation?

You can expect to discuss and answer questions about your symptoms, thoughts, feelings, daily habits, behaviors, and past medical history. You may also discuss any triggers for unwanted symptoms and past attempts to manage them on your own.

How long does a psychiatric evaluation last?

It depends. An evaluation can last a bit longer depending on each individual case. On average you should anticipate spending about an hour with your provider during the initial assessment.

How do I prepare for a psychiatric evaluation?

If you’re wanting to prepare for the initial assessment, we recommend writing down symptoms, purpose, and goals for seeking out care, collect past medical information, and write down questions you don’t want to forget to ask.

Is telepsychiatry effective?

Yes! Research proves telehealth to be just as effective as face-to-face therapy for most common, non-acute mental health conditions.

Can I use insurance for telepsychiatry?

Yes. If we accept your insurance for other services, we will be able to bill your insurance company for telehealth appointments as well.

Can a psychiatrist assess and diagnose mental health conditions remotely?

Yes. The world of telehealth greatly expanded how assessment, diagnosis, and medication management takes place. We can see patients via video call to diagnose behavioral and mental health conditions and prescribe medication as needed.

Spravato® (esketamine)

Esketamine, also called Spravato® (esketamine), is administered as a nasal spray, and works by targeting specific areas of the brain that regulate mood. It’s a safe, fast-acting treatment option for major depression and shows promising results in treating symptoms quickly. The medication is administered under supervision of a psychiatric provider to ensure proper care is taken during use.

Spravato® (esketamine) has received approval in the United States for its use in combination with an oral antidepressant. It is specifically designed to help adults suffering from treatment resistant depression (TRD) and to alleviate depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) who are experiencing acute suicidal thoughts or behaviors.

TMS Therapy

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment designed by psychiatrists to help individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and other mental health conditions. This innovative approach uses electromagnetic pulses to activate specific brain regions linked to mood regulation, providing a promising alternative for those who do not respond to traditional antidepressant medications.
