Comprehensive Psychiatric Assessment
A comprehensive psychiatric review is a detailed assessment that helps us understand a young person's emotional wellbeing, development, behaviour, relationships, learning, and daily functioning. It allows us to explore concerns in depth, review previous supports, and develop a clear plan for moving forward.
A review may include:
Discussion of current concerns and goals
Review of emotional, behavioural, social, and learning difficulties
Developmental, family, school, and medical history
Consideration of ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, learning differences
and other neurodevelopmental conditions
Assessment of mental health concerns
Review of previous assessments, reports, and treatments
Discussion of strengths and areas of support
Following the review, we may provide diagnostic clarification, treatment recommendations, medication advice, referrals, and supporting documentation where appropriate. Each review is tailored to the needs of the young person and their family.
