Start With a Full Mental Health Assessment

When you schedule a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation in Riverside, you receive a full 60-minute session (virtual or in-person) that examines emotional, psychological, physical, social, and spiritual aspects of your mental health. This initial evaluation allows your provider to understand not only current symptoms but also medical history, trauma background, family patterns, and medication use. Many clients in Riverside appreciate the depth of this assessment because it uncovers factors that may have been overlooked in shorter appointments.

Mending Health Care conducts evaluations for children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric clients across California. Conditions assessed include anxiety, ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, depression, PTSD, schizophrenia, psychotic disorders, eating disorders, insomnia, personality disorders, substance abuse, trauma-related disorders, and mood disorders. Each evaluation uses evidence-based diagnostic practices to develop an individualized treatment plan. Clients are asked to prepare by tracking symptoms, listing current medications, and gathering family health history to ensure the session is as thorough as possible.

Contact Mending Health Care to schedule your initial psychiatric evaluation in Riverside and begin building a personalized plan for healing.

Your evaluation in Riverside begins with a structured conversation that covers symptom onset, duration, intensity, and triggers. Your provider will ask about past treatments, medications tried, family mental health history, and any significant life events or trauma. The session is designed to give you space to describe what you have been experiencing without judgment or interruption.

After the evaluation, you will have a clearer understanding of your diagnosis and the treatment options available to you. Your provider will explain which symptoms can be managed through therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, or a combination of approaches. This clarity often reduces confusion and helps you feel more in control of your care plan.

Virtual and in-person access through virtual or in-person sessions means you do not need to travel or take extra time off work to attend your appointment. Confidentiality is maintained throughout the process, and your provider will discuss next steps based on clinical need. The evaluation sets the foundation for ongoing care, whether that includes follow-up appointments, psychotherapy, or medication management.

Many clients in Riverside want to know what to expect before their first session, especially if this is their first time seeking mental health care.
