What can I expect during a psychiatric evaluation?

You can expect a patient-centered evaluation when you visit Touro University Medical Group for psychiatric care. Your provider asks about your concerns and symptoms. Then, they review your daily routine, medical history, and family history.

Our psychiatrists may also administer objective tests that help them better understand how you think and feel. These tests also help them determine your diagnosis.

Our psychiatry team may refer you to one of the internal medicine physicians for a physical exam to rule out a physical condition that might explain your symptoms, such as a thyroid disorder. 

What are psychiatry treatments?

Our team at Touro University Medical Group customizes your psychiatry treatment plan based on your diagnosis, symptoms, and personal goals. Treatment may include psychotherapy, medication management, or both.

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, helps you understand your condition and develop strategies that help you cope, improving how you think, feel, and behave.

Medication management

Medication management is the use of psychiatric medications to reduce symptoms while you participate in psychotherapy.

Our team works closely with you, adjusting your plan as your symptoms improve.
