Initial Consultation
During an initial consultation, we will begin discussing medical and psychiatric history, family, and social factors. Dr. Mann may recommend labs, other studies, or referrals to other medical specialists as appropriate so that any complicating issues can be properly addressed.
If the patient is a young child, Dr. Mann usually meets with parents first before meeting the child. Dr. Mann may recommend school observation as part of the evaluation process to better understand difficulties relating to academic and social functioning.
Once the evaluation is completed, recommendations will be discussed and decided upon. Treatment recommendations are based on the best current research and clinical evidence available.
