Mental Health Evaluation & Follow-Up

---

A mental health evaluation is a comprehensive assessment conducted by a healthcare professional to diagnose mental health conditions and determine appropriate treatment. It typically includes a review of medical and psychiatric history, an evaluation of symptoms, a mental status exam, and sometimes psychological testing. The provider may assess mood, thought processes, cognitive function, and behavior to develop an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

A mental health evaluation follow-up is a subsequent appointment to monitor progress, adjust treatment as needed, and address any concerns. It allows for ongoing assessment of symptoms, medication effectiveness, therapy outcomes, and overall well-being. Follow-ups ensure that treatment remains appropriate and may involve modifications such as medication adjustments, therapy changes, or additional support services.
