What can I expect during a psychiatric evaluation?

psychiatric evaluation

You can expect a comprehensive exam during your psychiatry evaluation at Alphacare Medical. The team at the primary care practice takes a holistic and patient-centered approach to care and focuses on identifying the root cause of your mental, behavioral, or emotional health issue so you get the most effective treatment. During your evaluation, your psychiatrist asks detailed questions about your symptoms, mental and medical history, and your family history.

Your psychiatrist may also conduct psychiatric testing to assess your mental health and request diagnostic tests, such as lab work, to rule out a physical cause for your mental health symptoms. Your psychiatrist at Alphacare Medical uses the information gathered during your evaluation to provide an accurate diagnosis of your mental health condition, which helps direct your treatment plan.

What are psychiatry treatments?

Your psychiatrist at Alphacare Medical develops individualized treatment plans based on your diagnosis, the underlying cause, the severity of your symptoms, and your overall health. Your treatment plan may include medication, psychotherapy, and/or cognitive behavioral therapy. For opioid addiction, Alphacare Medical offers the medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program, which combines medication with behavioral therapy to help you recover from your addiction and reduce your risk of a relapse. Your mental health is as important as your physical health.

"The Staff and Doctors go out of there way to make sure you have all the necessary help to get better. Julie McBride is amazing and very knowledgeable in every aspect of your treatment plan and in her chosen profession. Once I arrived, the office manager was very pleasant and helpful as well as the receptionist. Anytime I have had a question regarding my visit or bill the ladies remedied it quickly and explained everything I asked about professionally and in great detail. If you are serious about getting better, then these professionals are there to help. Also the office is kept immaculate and just spotless from the waiting rooms to the examination rooms. I have seen other doctors in the past who have just masked the issues, However once I became a Patient at ALPHA I knew by the second visit i had found a professional team of physicians & professionals who work with your physical pain and with your mind to elevate any worries & concerns you may have. All & all the team go the extra mile to ensure there patients have access to every tool available. And once you visit I can guarantee you also will understand. And finally thankfully its not about the money first like so many Doctors out there today. Definitely 5 stars. Hands down the best medical team I have meet in DELAWARE.."

"I've been going there for almost 3 years now and they have helped me through so much and I appreciate everyone there. They see a lot and they deal with a lot but they still make sure that you're okay and that you get the right treatment. You also get counseling each visit which is nice because not only does your physician listen and give advice you also have your counselor which gives you someone to communicate with that understands everything you're going through. They're awesome with scheduling or rescheduling if something happens, they work with you as long as you're doing what you're supposed to. I will keep going as long as I need to because its helped me tremendously."
