Psychiatric Emergency Evaluation

A Psychiatric Emergency Evaluation is a thorough assessment performed by mental health professionals when someone is experiencing a mental health crisis, such as severe anxiety, depression, or suicidal thoughts. During this evaluation, the clinician gathers information about the individual’s symptoms, history, and current situation. The goal is to understand the person's immediate needs and determine the most appropriate treatment or intervention, which may include hospitalization, therapy, or medication. This evaluation is crucial for ensuring the safety and well-being of the individual in distress.
