What is a Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation?
Psychiatric Evaluation
A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation is essential for diagnosing a spectrum of emotional, behavioral, or developmental disorders. This thorough assessment for children, adolescents, or adults is grounded in the observation of behaviors and their impact on various facets such as physical health, genetic predispositions, environmental influences, social interactions, cognitive functions, emotional stability, and educational performance.
Who is evaluated?
Often, it’s the individuals closest to someone—a family member, spouse, teacher, or friend—who first notice signs of distress or behavioral changes. These signs may manifest as disruptions in relationships, work or school performance, sleep patterns, eating habits, substance use, emotional regulation, development, coping mechanisms, attentiveness, or responsiveness. It’s crucial for those recognizing these signs to seek mental health treatment promptly to address and manage the underlying issues effectively.
What is involved in a psychiatric evaluation
A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation is tailored to each individual, reflecting the diversity in symptoms and behaviors across patients. This evaluation is a critical component of mental health treatment, addressing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, or developmental disorders through various assessments:
Evaluation may include:
- Description of behaviors (like when do the behaviors happen, how long does the behavior last, what are the conditions in which the behaviors most often happen).
- Description of symptoms (physical and psychiatric symptoms).
- Effects of behaviors or symptoms related to:
- Work performance
- School performance
- Relationships and interactions with others (like spouse, coworkers, family members, or neighbors)
- Family involvement
- Activity involvement
- Psychiatric interview.
- Personal and family history of emotional, behavioral, or developmental disorders.
- Complete medical history, including description of the person’s overall physical health, list of any other illnesses or conditions present, and any current treatments.
- Lab tests, in some cases (may be used to determine if an underlying medical condition is present), including:
- Blood panel and urine toxicology test.
- Radiology studies to look for abnormalities, particularly in the brain structures.
- Educational assessments.
- Speech and language assessments.
- Psychological assessments.
