Functional medicine psychiatry without the wellness-catalog upsell
GeneSight is probabilistic. It is not a personality test and not required on visit one.
What Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing actually includes
TSH in psychiatric evaluation is common because hypothyroidism mimics mood/cognitive complaints.
Pharmacogenetic testing changes probabilities for some drugs.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Morning T for men.
Document assay.
Fasting when lipids/glucose needed.
No 80-marker default.
Indications and differentials
Treatment-resistant depression with never-checked B12/ferritin/TSH.
TSH psychiatric evaluation still needs a hypothesis.
Not indicated: proving you are 'not crazy.'
Patient request after counseling on limits.
How Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing is structured
Send to a draw site near 33313 when possible.
Repeat out-of-range values.
Treat, refer, or watch — with a date.
Document limitations.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
ZIP 33313 is the lead postal code listed for Sunrise. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
Do not stack 12 supplements the same week as a new antidepressant without a reason.
Discuss cost/coverage.
22-minute path to the Hollywood office
Sunrise 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.
ZIP 33313 is the lead postal code listed for Sunrise. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Sunrise presentations. Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Insurance surprise bill.
Next step
Start with one thorough Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.

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.
