Dania Beach FAQs for Psychiatric Evaluations
How soon is follow-up?
Often 2–4 weeks after a new medication or a complex formulation; longer when stable.

No. Psychiatric evaluation and psychotherapy are complementary.
Can you evaluate psychosis?
Yes, and we will escalate to a higher level of care if outpatient treatment is unsafe.

Only if the interview actually supports the opinion. We do not write unsupported letters.
