Furthermore, telehealth saves you time and money. Meeting with Drew from your home prevents the hassle of finding a babysitter or family care services if you have children or provide care for a loved one.
Drew reviews your medical records and asks about your symptoms and lifestyle, including when they first started and if you drink alcohol or use other substances. Answer his questions openly and honestly. Drew isn’t there to judge you, but your responses provide important insights and help guide treatment.
Next, Drew has you fill out a series of psychological questionnaires. He might also order lab tests, such as blood work or urinalysis. Because Sound Psychiatry and Wellness is a telehealth practice, you need to visit a nearby lab facility to undergo these screens.
Last, Drew orders genetic testing. Genetic testing assesses your blood for specific genetic markers. Drew uses this information to determine the type of psychiatric medication that will most benefit you.
After gathering the necessary information, Drew compares your results with the criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). If you have a mental illness, like depression or generalized anxiety disorder, Drew makes personalized treatment recommendations.
At Sound Psychiatry and Wellness, Drew uses telehealth to diagnose and treat various mental health conditions, including:
Because Sound Psychiatry and Wellness is a virtual practice, Drew can’t prescribe certain classes of drugs, such as stimulants and benzodiazepines. If necessary, he can refer you to a psychiatric specialist in your area for these medications.
