The process involves a psychiatric diagnostic interview, a thorough medical evaluation including labs and imaging where needed, and therapy referral recommendations.
The initial psychiatric evaluation serves as a fundamental step in understanding the unique mental health needs of each patient, establishing a baseline from which care is personalized. At Solana Psychiatry, this comprehensive assessment encompasses a detailed exploration of the patient's psychiatric history, current symptoms, life circumstances, and overall health. This foundational knowledge is instrumental in designing a tailored treatment plan that addresses both the immediate concerns and the long-term well-being of the individual. By combining this in-depth assessment with tools like the GAD7 or MDQ when applicable, clinicians can make informed decisions about the most appropriate therapeutic approaches and medication management strategies. This personalized framework ensures that each patient receives care that is not only effective but also aligned with their specific life context, enhancing the likelihood of positive outcomes and patient satisfaction.
