Psychiatric evaluation

A thorough, whole-person psychiatric evaluation, clarity before any plan.

What it means

What a psychiatric evaluation involves

A psychiatric evaluation is a thorough diagnostic assessment of your mental health, your history, symptoms, goals, and the biological and lifestyle factors behind them. At Sphosh Health, Dr. Koichi Tanji, ND, LMHC provides a comprehensive, whole-person evaluation for adults that looks beyond the label, so any diagnosis and treatment plan is built on a complete picture rather than a ten-minute checklist.

  • A new diagnosis or a second opinion
  • A comprehensive evaluation for adults
  • Clarity on anxiety, depression, ADHD or mood
  • Understanding what is actually driving symptoms

What to expect

What a psychiatric evaluation looks like, step by step

A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation is not a ten-minute intake. Here is how the visit usually unfolds at Sphosh Health, in our Bellevue office or by secure video anywhere in Washington.

  1. Your story and history. We begin with what brought you in, your main concerns, when they started and how they affect daily life, along with your medical, family and treatment history.
  2. Symptoms and goals. We map your current symptoms against what you actually want to change, so the plan aims at your goals rather than only a label.
  3. The biology behind it. We weigh sleep, nutrition, thyroid, hormones, inflammation and other medical factors that shape mood and focus, and use functional testing where it clarifies the picture, so nothing is missed.
  4. A clear diagnosis, explained. You leave understanding what we found and why, in plain language rather than jargon.
  5. A personalized plan. Your plan may combine therapy, nutrition and lifestyle support, and medication where it genuinely helps, built around you, not a template.
