Hollywood FAQs for Psychiatric Evaluations
Will you prescribe on visit one?
Only when the diagnosis, safety, and monitoring plan support it. Controlled substances have a higher bar.
Do you replace my therapist?
No. Psychiatric evaluation and psychotherapy are complementary.
Do you treat ADHD in adults?
Yes, with a differential that includes sleep, trauma, mood, and thyroid mimics. Childhood history still matters.
How do I prepare?
Medication list, prior psych notes, recent labs, and a timeline of symptoms. Sleep and menstrual data help.
Can I use this evaluation for a legal letter?
Only if the interview actually supports the opinion. We do not write unsupported letters.
How soon is follow-up?
Often 2–4 weeks after a new medication or a complex formulation; longer when stable.

mood disorder evaluation is treated as a presenting complaint that still has to survive a differential, not as a self-diagnosis we rubber-stamp.

Substance use that may be inducing or masking a primary psychiatric disorder.
