comprehensive psychiatric evaluation
A Comprehensive Approach to Mind and Body
At Veridian Health, we believe that mental wellness requires a stable physical foundation. Our integrated assessment combines a deep dive into your psychological history with a focused medical evaluation to ensure your treatment plan is precise, effective, and tailored to your unique biology.
Phase 1: Diagnostic Mental Health Evaluation
This is an in-depth exploration of your mental health—a “detailed map” of your psychological well-being. By reviewing your personal history, current symptoms, and individual strengths, we collect the essential information needed to establish clear treatment goals.
- Clinical Interview: A review of your psychiatric history, family background, and significant life experiences.
- Symptom Exploration: A collaborative discussion regarding your current mood, behaviors, and thought processes.
- Objective Testing: The use of structured personality assessments and psychological testing to provide diagnostic clarity.
Phase 2: Clinical Wellness Assessment
To ensure no part of your health is overlooked, we evaluate the physical factors that may be impacting your emotional well-being. This phase identifies medical conditions—such as hormonal imbalances or nutritional deficiencies—that often mimic or exacerbate psychiatric symptoms.
-
Vital Health Screening: A review of your current physical symptoms and a targeted medical exam.
-
Diagnostic Lab Work: Orders for comprehensive blood panels to check thyroid function, metabolic health, and vitamin levels.
-
Medication Reconciliation: A careful audit of all current prescriptions and supplements to prevent adverse interactions.
Why an Integrated Assessment?
Physical and mental health are inseparable. By identifying and treating underlying medical issues—such as anemia or endocrine disorders—alongside your psychiatric care, we provide a clearer path to feeling like yourself again. This integrated approach leads to more accurate diagnoses and more effective, long-term outcomes.
