Mental health assessment that records differentials
Telehealth is a setting, not a different standard of diagnosis.
Psychiatric Evaluations for Sunrise patients
Adult ADHD assessment uses developmental history, ASRS, and mimics (anxiety, trauma, sleep, thyroid). A childhood report card helps; a viral video does not.
Anxiety evaluation separates GAD, panic, social anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and medical mimics such as hyperthyroidism or stimulant toxicity.
Indications and differentials
Insomnia that is either a syndrome of its own or a driver of daytime psychiatric symptoms.
Not indicated as a substitute for emergency care, inpatient psychiatry, or court-ordered forensic evaluation.
Pediatric primary care is not the focus of this clinic; adolescents are considered case-by-case.
Eating-pattern change with medical risk (restriction, purging, electrolyte clues).
From intake to follow-up: Psychiatric Evaluations
Formulation is shared in plain language: what is likely, what is possible, what we are watching.
Records from other clinicians are requested with your authorization; we do not pretend collateral is optional when the history is fragmented.
History of present illness is a timeline, not a mood adjective. We date onsets, postpartum windows, and medication trials.
Plan includes psychotherapy referral, medication or not, labs, and a follow-up date.
Sunrise FAQs for Psychiatric Evaluations
How soon is follow-up?
Often 2–4 weeks after a new medication or a complex formulation; longer when stable.
Do you replace my therapist?
No. Psychiatric evaluation and psychotherapy are complementary.
What does 'affordable' in some URLs mean?
Leftover slugs. We do not market cheap care. We bill insurance when in-network and discuss costs before non-covered labs.
Is the visit confidential?
HIPAA applies, with the usual safety exceptions (imminent harm, mandated reports).
Do hormones cause psychiatric symptoms?
They can contribute. They rarely explain an entire syndrome by themselves. We test when the history points there.
Where is the office?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 22 minutes from Sunrise.
Do you accept insurance for Sunrise patients?
Yes, we accept most major insurance plans. Call us at (888) 307-2199 to verify your specific coverage before your first appointment.
Can I get evening or weekend telehealth appointments?
We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate work schedules. Contact our office to discuss available appointment times.
