We provide in-depth assessments to uncover the root of your mental health challenges giving you clarity, direction and a personalized plan for lasting wellbeing.
When symptoms persist such as mood swings, anxiety, difficulty functioning, or unclear diagnosis a standard check-in may not be enough. At Shining Star Psychiatric Care, our comprehensive psychiatric evaluation offers a thorough, multidisciplinary look into your mental, physical and emotional health so we can build the right treatment strategy from the start.
A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation is a detailed diagnostic process used to identify emotional, behavioral or developmental disorders. During this evaluation, your clinician reviews your history, current symptoms, family background, medical status and social environment to determine an accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment plan.
Key elements can include:
– Current symptom description when they started, how frequent/severe they are, what triggers them.
– Personal and family psychiatric and medical history.
– Review of physical health, medications and labs/tests (to rule out medical causes).
– Psychosocial assessment covering relationships, work/school functioning, environment, stressors.
– If needed: psychological/neuro-psychological testing, speech/educational assessments, imaging or other specialist evaluations.
With proper treatment, many individuals can manage symptoms and lead fulfilling lives.
– Accurate diagnosis from the outset: Eliminates “trial and error” treatment, ensuring we target the right condition with the right tools.
– Tailored treatment plan: Based on full understanding of your unique profile: mental health, physical health, life context and goals.
– Efficient & holistic care: Combines assessment, strategy and next-step planning in one place, saving you time and uncertainty.
– Better outcomes: With a deeper assessment, the probability of meaningful improvement is higher; early intervention and correct targeting matter.
– Support for complex cases: Useful when past treatments haven’t helped, when multiple symptoms overlap, or when you want a second opinion.
