Evidence we actually use
Informed consent for Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing covers benefits, risks, alternatives (including no medication), and the limits of telehealth. Patients can decline any lab or medication without losing access to the diagnostic formulation.
HIPAA-compliant records, encrypted telehealth, and a single Hollywood office at 7603 Davie Road Extension keep Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing identifiable to one medical home instead of a rotating locum panel.
Hormone-informed psychiatry means estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and cortisol are considered when the history for Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing points there — not as a default panel on every patient.
DSM-5-TR framing for Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing
Metabolic monitoring on SGAs (that's also med management).
Not indicated: weekly wellness draws.
Fatigue, cold intolerance, hair loss, or weight change suggesting thyroid/iron.
Heavy menses plus brain fog.

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
