This careful evaluation helps in identifying and diagnosing various mental health issues or emotional struggles you may be experiencing. The goal is to help the team grasp and address your mental health concerns.
Conducting a thorough psychiatric evaluation at Ultimate Mental Health Services depends on various factors such as the individual’s needs, concerns, and age. The assessment process may encompass:

Psychiatric interview
Assessment of current medications and supplements
Utilization of psychological assessment scales and measures

In the case of children, our team at Ultimate Mental Health Services may also interview teachers, mentors, and other family members to gain insight into the child’s functioning in various environments. This comprehensive evaluation aims to gain a comprehensive understanding of an individual’s mental health, pinpoint any underlying conditions or contributing factors to their symptoms, and formulate a tailored treatment plan to address their specific needs. Open and honest communication with your provider during the assessment is vital to ensure the most effective treatment approach.
