A psychiatric evaluation is an assessment conducted by a mental health professional to understand an individual’s mental health, establish a diagnosis, and develop a treatment plan.

Phobias
Phobias are intense, irrational fears toward specific objects or situations, such as heights or spiders, that disrupt daily life. Exposure to the feared item often triggers severe anxiety or panic. Treatment can involve gradual exposure and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).
Panic Disorders
Panic disorder is characterized by sudden, recurrent panic attacks with symptoms like palpitations, sweating, and feelings of impending doom. These attacks can occur unexpectedly or be triggered by specific situations. Ongoing therapy and medication can help manage symptoms.
Borderline Personality Disorder
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) involves intense mood swings, fear of abandonment, and unstable self-image. These symptoms often impact relationships, causing impulsive actions and emotional instability. Therapy focuses on building emotional regulation and interpersonal skills.
Impulse Control Disorders
Impulse Control Disorders involve difficulty resisting harmful or socially disruptive urges, such as aggressive outbursts or compulsive gambling. These behaviors are often performed without regard for consequences, leading to personal or social issues. Treatment may include cognitive-behavioral therapy and medication.
Opiate Use Disorder
Opiate Use Disorder involves dependence on opiates, leading to cravings, tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms when not using. This condition can arise from prescribed or illicit opiate use. Treatment typically includes medication-assisted therapy (MAT) and counseling.
Alcohol Use Disorder
