Psychiatric Assessment

About This Assessment

Psychiatric assessments differ from psychological ones in a key way: psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose, prescribe medication, and evaluate the medical basis of mental health conditions.

Our psychiatric assessments are conducted by qualified psychiatrists with extensive experience in trauma, MVA-related mental health conditions, mood disorders, and the intersection of physical and psychiatric illness.

When a patient presents with complex symptoms β€” severe depression, suicidal ideation, psychotic features, treatment-resistant anxiety, medication concerns, or significant comorbid medical conditions β€” a psychiatric assessment provides the medical depth required.
