What we rule in — and rule out
New or unexplained mood, anxiety, attentional, or psychotic symptoms lasting beyond a brief adjustment reaction.
Insomnia that is either a syndrome of its own or a driver of daytime psychiatric symptoms.
A request for a second opinion before a major medication change or a disability form.
Prior diagnoses that conflict with each other or with the current mental status exam.

Visit flow for Psychiatric Evaluations
Medical review flags thyroid, anemia, cardiac QT risk, pregnancy, and neurologic symptoms that redirect the workup.
History of present illness is a timeline, not a mood adjective. We date onsets, postpartum windows, and medication trials.
Formulation is shared in plain language: what is likely, what is possible, what we are watching.
Mental status exam is documented: appearance, speech, affect, thought process, insight, cognition, and risk.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Patients can request a copy of the formulation; mystery diagnoses are not a clinical style.
Follow-up interval tightens when a new antidepressant, antipsychotic, or mood stabilizer is started.
If GeneSight is used, results are filed with the limitation statement in the note.
Benzodiazepines, when used, have an indication, a taper plan, and a discussion of dependence.
