What happens during your exam?
During a psychiatric bipolar evaluation exam, I conduct a thorough evaluation of the individual's mental health history and symptoms. The evaluation consists of a physical exam, laboratory tests, and assessments. Additionally, I inquire about the individual's family history, substance use, and current medications. Based on the evaluation results, I diagnose the individual and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to their needs.
