Psychiatric Evaluation

Psychiatric Evaluations are essential as they allow the behavioral professional to have a better understanding of clients’ situations and the challenges they face. This may constitute an interview where professionals ask questions about clients’ experiences, including their personal and family health history. Depending on the symptoms clients display, it can also include a series of psychiatric evaluation tests and laboratory tests for others. Psychiatric evaluations are usually the first step to receiving behavioral assistance since the information gathered can help professionals create a diagnosis and a customized treatment plan for each client.
