We document sleep architecture, menstrual or androgen history, thyroid clues, and substance use because they change the differential.
Clinical scope of Psychiatric Evaluations in Broward County
Mood disorder evaluation asks about duration, anhedonia, mixed features, postpartum onset, seasonality, and hypomania — because treatment diverges.
Eating-disorder psychiatric evaluation looks at restriction, binge-purge, body image, electrolytes, and when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient Psychiatric Evaluations.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Collateral from a partner or parent is requested when insight is limited — with consent.
Telehealth identity and location in Florida are verified.
QT, sodium, TSH, and metabolic labs when the chosen medication class requires them.
Safety screen every visit: SI/HI, psychosis, inability to care for self, and intoxication.
Indications and differentials
Not indicated solely to obtain a letter that the interview does not support.
Eating-pattern change with medical risk (restriction, purging, electrolyte clues).
Not indicated as a substitute for emergency care, inpatient psychiatry, or court-ordered forensic evaluation.
New or unexplained mood, anxiety, attentional, or psychotic symptoms lasting beyond a brief adjustment reaction.
