PHASE I: INITIAL EVALUATION/DIAGNOSIS
To provide a precise psychiatric diagnosis, each patient is given a thorough psychiatric evaluation. Detailed family history and medical history is taken in order to identify generic patterns and symptoms of mood disorder and recommendations are made regarding further evaluations, medications and therapy. In addition to the initial psychiatric evaluation, a physical examination with EKG and blood tests are sometimes required.

PHASE II : PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY AND PSYCHOTHERAPY
Based on the findings of the initial evaluation, our staff might request weekly psychopharmacological follow-up visits to adjust medication as necessary in order to achieve the desired therapeutic results. For patients who wish to discuss problem areas of their lives, Standard or Cognitive Psychotherapy is also available by our NP's and MD's. A combination of talk therapy and medication management may be necessary to achieve optimal results.
