Lighthouse Point FAQs for Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing
Can I refuse?
Yes.
Thyroid?
TSH/free T4 when indicated.
Crisis?
988/ER, not a draw center.
How soon results?
Depends on the lab. We schedule a results visit.
Can labs be wrong?
Yes. We repeat when needed.
Adrenal fatigue?
Not a diagnosis we sell.
Do you offer pharmacogenetic testing?
Yes. We offer pharmacogenetic (GeneSight) testing to determine which psychiatric medications are most likely to be effective for your specific genetic makeup, reducing trial-and-error in medication selection.
What makes your evaluations comprehensive?
Our initial evaluations last 60-90 minutes and include clinical assessment, review of functional lab options, hormone screening discussion, and a personalized treatment plan — not a 15-minute med check.
