At Ababe Health Care Center, we believe that effective mental health treatment begins with a clear and accurate understanding of your psychological well-being. Our Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation & Diagnosis services are designed to uncover the root causes of emotional, behavioral, or cognitive concerns and create a personalized path forward.
Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, mood changes, substance use challenges, or are simply unsure of what’s going on, a psychiatric evaluation is your first step toward clarity and healing.
What Is a Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation?
A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation is an in-depth assessment conducted by a licensed mental health professional to explore your current symptoms, emotional and cognitive functioning, medical history, and life circumstances. It is a crucial diagnostic tool that guides the development of an effective, individualized treatment plan.
This evaluation may include:
- A detailed clinical interview
- Review of past psychiatric and medical records
- Family history of mental health conditions
- Screening questionnaires or psychological tests
- Substance use assessment (if applicable)
- Discussion of social, environmental, and lifestyle factors
Our clinicians take a holistic approach, considering all aspects of your mental, emotional, and physical health.

We take the time to explain your diagnosis and treatment options in clear, compassionate language so that you feel informed and empowered.
