What is a Psychiatric Evaluation?
A Psychiatric Evaluation at HCCS is a detailed assessment conducted by our experienced psychiatric professionals to diagnose mental health conditions and develop an effective treatment strategy. This process involves a comprehensive review of your medical history, current symptoms, and life circumstances, combined with clinical interviews and standardized assessments. Our bilingual and bicultural team ensures that evaluations are conducted in a culturally competent manner, respecting Hispanic values such as personalismo (personal connection) and respeto (respect).
The evaluation may address conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychosis, or co-occurring substance use disorders, providing a foundation for tailored interventions, including therapy, medication management, or other services.
