Psychiatric Assessment

Service Description

Not sure if you have a mental illness? I can do a psychiatric assessment of your symptoms! There are specific criteria that a person must meet in order to be diagnosed with a mental illness. All doctors, therapists, and healthcare professionals use the same interview questionnaire to figure out if a person's symptoms meet these requirements. As an RN, I'm qualified to do this interview questionnaire with you and tell you the results. However, I cannot officially diagnose you with a mental disorder. The results that you'd get from doing the interview questionnaire with me would be the same results that you'd get if you did it with a doctor. That's because the questions are worded in a very specific way, and must be asked in that exact way every time. However, because I can't give you an official diagnosis, the results of this interview won't be added to your medical records, and won't have any legal implications. The name of the interview questionnaire is the SCID-5! It usually takes between 30 minutes and one hour to complete. The interview questions go through each mental disorder one at a time, and based on your responses, the results will say which mental disorders you meet the criteria for. If you schedule a Treatment Plan Appointment with me, I'll use your results to help me create the most effective plan possible to address your specific symptoms!
