Psychosis evaluation treats hallucinations, delusions, and disorganization as time-sensitive. Substance-induced and mood-with-psychosis are on the differential.
Booking a psychiatric evaluation is the start of a record, not a guarantee of a preferred medication.

{access}. That access pattern is why Psychiatric Evaluations for Pompano Beach is written as a service-area page, not as a fake storefront.
Labs are ordered when they could change management, not to decorate the chart.
Before the visit: intake forms, medication list, prior labs. Incomplete forms shrink the diagnostic hour.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Telehealth identity and location in Florida are verified.
We do not combine MAOIs with contraindicated agents. We do not ignore serotonin syndrome risk.
QT, sodium, TSH, and metabolic labs when the chosen medication class requires them.
Pregnancy status and contraception when prescribing agents with teratogenic or lactation issues.
From intake to follow-up: Psychiatric Evaluations
If telehealth was used, we record why an in-office visit was or was not required.
Mental status exam is documented: appearance, speech, affect, thought process, insight, cognition, and risk.
History of present illness is a timeline, not a mood adjective. We date onsets, postpartum windows, and medication trials.
Psychiatric review of systems covers mood, anxiety, psychosis, OCD, trauma, ADHD, sleep, eating, and substance use even if you came for only one of those.
Clinical FAQ
Can you evaluate psychosis?
Yes, and we will escalate to a higher level of care if outpatient treatment is unsafe.
Do you see children?
The practice is primarily adults and older adolescents, considered case-by-case.
How do I prepare?
Medication list, prior psych notes, recent labs, and a timeline of symptoms. Sleep and menstrual data help.
How soon is follow-up?
Often 2–4 weeks after a new medication or a complex formulation; longer when stable.
Do you diagnose on the first visit?
Usually we can state a working diagnosis and differential after the first complete interview. Some presentations need collateral, labs, or a second visit.
Do you treat ADHD in adults?
Yes, with a differential that includes sleep, trauma, mood, and thyroid mimics. Childhood history still matters.
What insurance do you accept for Pompano Beach patients?
We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross, United, and more. Call (888) 307-2199 to verify your specific plan before your first visit.
Can you prescribe medication at the first appointment?
After a thorough psychiatric evaluation, Dr. Chatelier may recommend medication as part of your treatment plan. Initial evaluations typically last 60-90 minutes to ensure we understand your complete picture.
