Mental Health Evaluation

What is a mental health evaluation?

A mental health evaluation is a part of the treatment process for a psychiatric condition at Uncharted Healthcare. 

Before developing a customized treatment program for you, Roseann needs to understand as much about your mental health condition as possible. Mental health disorders are complex and often require an integrative approach to treatment. 

Your medical and mental health history, life experiences, and relationships are all factors to consider in your mental health evaluation.  

Getting to the underlying cause of all of these potential factors gives Roseann a better understanding of where to start with your psychiatric treatment.  

What do mental health evaluations involve?

During your mental health evaluation, Roseann conducts a comprehensive review of your medical and mental health history and discusses the symptoms you’re experiencing. The interview lasts around 60 to 90 minutes. 

After gathering information about your mental health, Roseann may recommend further psychological testing, which may give her more insight into your thoughts, feelings, and perspectives. 

Who can benefit from a mental health evaluation?

Anyone who is struggling with their mental wellness or suspect they may have a mental health issue can benefit from an evaluation. 

Some of the common conditions that Roseann evaluates include:

• Mood disorders
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Substance use disorder (SUD)
• Schizophrenia
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Bipolar disorder
• Personality disorder
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

At Uncharted Healthcare, Roseann offers a mental health evaluation package that includes non-pharmacological interventions, such as self-management and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). She also provides lifestyle counseling to promote your emotional and mental well-being. 

What happens after a mental health evaluation?

After completing your mental health evaluation, Roseann can prepare an initial treatment plan for you. She discusses your treatment goals in order to determine the best approach to your mental health care. 

If you have any concerns or questions about mental health treatments, Roseann can also answer them and ensure you receive the information you need to make an informed decision. The specific mental health treatments that benefit others may not work for you, so she works closely with you to develop strategies and tools to help you.
