Specializes in Psychiatry

Psychiatrist: Without question, the most qualified physician to do this evaluation is a psychiatrist. This will take some time, as there are no diagnostic tests that will definitely confirm a psychiatric diagnosis, so be patient. The psychiatrist will need to do an extensive evaluation of you, and may ask for a family member to join you for some additional information. Treatments work! stick with it. Good luck.
