Mental Health Q & A

- Anxiety

Dr. Syed and the team offer expert mental health care during in-person office visits and through the telemedicine platform.
What is involved in a psychiatric evaluation?
A psychiatric evaluation is an important part of properly diagnosing emotional, developmental, and behavioral disorders that are affecting the quality of life for you or your child.
During your psychiatric evaluation, Dr. Syed reviews important aspects of your lifestyle and health, including your:
- Medical history
- Current symptoms
- Environment and safety
- Family and social support system
- Performance at work and school
To determine if an underlying medical condition is contributing to your symptoms or condition, Dr. Syed might request blood work or other diagnostic tests.
If your child is receiving the evaluation, Dr. Syed will speak with them on an age-appropriate level. She may also ask you questions about your child’s behaviors and their relationships at home, at school, and in other social situations.
When should I schedule a mental health evaluation?
At Northside Primary Care, Inc, Dr. Syed recommends scheduling a mental health evaluation for yourself if you’re having difficulty controlling intrusive thoughts, persistent feelings of sadness, or unexplained worry or fear.
Adolescents showing behavioral issues at home or in school can benefit from a psychiatric evaluation. You can also schedule an evaluation if your child shows signs of emotional distress, difficulty coping with trauma, loss of interest in activities, or persistent sadness.
When the team completes your psychiatric evaluation, they can work with you on a treatment plan to help you feel better now and in the long term. They offer medications in addition to genetic testing to determine which medications are the right fit for you.
