Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing interpreted in a psychiatric chart
Functional is a method (history → hypothesis → test), not a brand of IV.
What Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing actually includes
Root cause psych labs still require a root-cause differential, not a shopping cart.
Functional medicine psychiatry here refuses uninterpretable catalogs.
Clinical FAQ
How soon results?
Depends on the lab. We schedule a results visit.
Is GeneSight required?
No.
Adrenal fatigue?
Not a diagnosis we sell.
Can I draw near Hillsboro Beach?
Usually yes.
Insurance?
Varies by test. We discuss non-covered costs.
Genetic privacy?
We treat it as sensitive data.
Can I do all appointments via telehealth?
After an initial evaluation (which we recommend in-person for the most thorough assessment), most follow-up appointments can be conducted via our secure telehealth platform.
How do you ensure privacy?
All appointments and records are HIPAA-compliant. Telehealth sessions use encrypted video, and we never share patient information without explicit consent.

Hillsboro Beach sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.

Credentials and method

Functional labs (TSH with free T4/T3, ferritin, vitamin D, sex hormones, hs-CRP) are ordered when the history for Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing suggests a medical contributor. Normal labs do not rule out a DSM-5-TR diagnosis.
GeneSight pharmacogenetic testing is available when prior antidepressant trials failed or side effects were limiting. Results are probabilistic, not deterministic.

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.
