Psychiatric Evaluation & Diagnosis

Most people come to us when they are tired of feeling "off" but don't know why. You might be struggling to focus at work, feeling a weight of anxiety you can’t shake, or watching your child struggle with behaviors that don’t have a name yet.

At Dipsy Psychiatry, we don’t just check boxes. We perform a deep-dive mental health assessment to understand the "why" behind your symptoms. By looking at your medical history, environment, and daily stressors, we provide an accurate mental health diagnosis in Illinois so you can stop the cycle of trial-and-error treatments.

Diagnostic services tailored to your life stage

We provide specialized evaluations because a "one-size-fits-all" approach doesn’t work for brain health. Our Chicago-based team offers:

• Adult Psychiatric Diagnostic Assessment: We explore the intersection of mood, anxiety, attention (ADHD), and trauma to help you regain functioning in your career and relationships.
• Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Evaluation: Focused on the unique developmental needs of younger patients, addressing school-based concerns and emotional regulation at home.
• Neuropsychiatric Evaluation: For those experiencing memory issues or cognitive changes, we examine the link between brain function and behavior.
• Behavioral Health Screening: A streamlined check for those who need a professional "first look" to determine if further care is necessary.
• Psychiatric Risk Assessment: Dedicated, compassionate evaluation for high-risk situations involving crisis factors or self-harm.

The path to your personalized care plan

A diagnosis isn't a label-it's a tool for progress. Your psychiatric evaluation in Chicago results in a collaborative care plan. Whether you need medication management, specific therapy recommendations, or lifestyle adjustments, you will leave our clinic with a clear understanding of your mental health and exactly what to do next.
