Psychiatric Evaluations
Typically require two to three sessions to complete an evaluation:
1) Session One : 90 minute appointment with the parents only.
2) Session Two: 50 minute appointment with the patient (sometimes including some time with one or both parents). Depending on the complexity of the case it may be possible to complete the evaluation at this session.
If the pharmacogenetic testing is indicated it will be done/obtained during the second session and a third appointment will be necessary in order to review the results.
3) Session Three: 50 minute session finalizing interviews with patient and family, reviewing results of pharmacogenetics testing or previous records. Dr. Frischtak will discuss her impressions of your child’s condition, her recommendations in terms of treatment plan and the benefits and risks of the recommended treatment impressions including diagnosis and treatment plan.
4) Second Opinion
If the evaluation is a second opinion and/or if there are extensive prior medical and/or psychiatric records, legal records or educational records, Dr Frischtak will suggest to the number and lengths of sessions depending on the case.
