The hallmark of good treatment is an accurate diagnosis. In a mental-health assessment, your doctor will have you or your loved one answer questions about your medical and mental health, may order lab tests and imaging, and discuss your mental-health history.
Once a diagnosis is established, your doctor can offer pharmacological options if necessary. Most patients who qualify for pharmacological treatment will also likely require co-existing psychological services with a psychologist. We work with many psychologists in the area and can provide references when necessary.
