An initial psychiatric evaluation is a comprehensive assessment conducted by a psychiatrist to diagnose and develop a treatment plan for an individual with mental health problems. Our evaluation process typically includes a thorough review of the individual’s medical and psychiatric history, current symptoms, family history, social and occupational functioning.

The process begins with a comprehensive history of the patient to learn their medical and psychiatric history. The clinician will also ask about any current symptoms or problems that the individual may be experiencing. This information will be used to develop a mental health diagnosis and prescribed treatment plan with medication.
The length of the evaluation may vary depending on each patient, but generally lasts between 60-90 minutes. Psychiatric evaluations are a valuable tool for a number of mental health disorders.
Corner Canyon uses revolutionary genetic testing to create personalized treatment plans that support medication management based on a patient’s unique genetic profile. Genetic testing can provide insight into how an individual metabolizes certain medications based on gene variations. This can make it easier for a provider to prescribe medication or adjust dosages more accurately.
Genetic testing for psychiatric services can also help identify potential side effects and drug interactions that a patient may be more susceptible to based on their gene profile. This information can help providers minimize the risk of adverse reactions and improve treatment outcomes.
