Psychiatric assessment and treatment

A psychiatric evaluation is a clinical evaluation of a person's mental state and can be performed by a psychiatrist or psychologist.

It includes questions about your symptoms, thoughts, feelings and behaviour. The answers to these questions will be used to make a diagnosis and determine the best treatment plan. Psychiatric evaluations are often used before starting a new medication or other treatment plans.

A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation is concerned with the diagnosis of emotional, behavioral or developmental disorders. The assessment of a child, adolescent or adult is based on existing behaviors and in relation to physical, genetic, environmental, social, cognitive (thinking), emotional and educational aspects that may be affected as a result of these behaviours.
