We offer comprehensive assessments, conducted by a mental health expert, in order to gain a deeper understanding of an individual's mental health, behavior, personality, cognitive abilities, and emotional functioning. The process typically involves a series of assessments and observations, along with interviews and questionnaires. The specific tests and methods used will vary depending on the purpose of the evaluation and the individual's needs. These evaluations are used to diagnose mental health conditions, guide treatment planning, or assist in educational planning. Evaluations provide deep insights into specific psychological aspects of an individual. The following are some examples:

Mood Disorder Evaluation: Specifically aimed at diagnosing and differentiating between various mood disorders such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and cyclothymic disorder.

Personality Assessment: To diagnose personality disorders, such as borderline personality disorder or antisocial personality disorder, often involving detailed interviews and questionnaire-based tools.

Anxiety Disorder Evaluation: Tailored to diagnose various anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and phobias.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Assessment: Focused on identifying OCD symptoms, distinguishing them from similar anxiety disorders, and understanding their impact on daily functioning.

Psychotic Disorders Evaluation: Used to diagnose conditions like schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, assessing symptoms like delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized thinking.

Substance Abuse Evaluation:  To assess the extent of substance use, co-occurring disorders, the impact substance abuse has on mental health, and to formulate a treatment plan.

Pre-Surgery: Determine whether a pre-surgical mental health clearance is appropriate. Some surgeries, like bariatric surgery, require a psychiatric evaluation to ensure that patients are mentally prepared and have realistic expectations about the outcomes and lifestyle changes.
