Depression and mental health Treatment
The diagnosis of mental health conditions at Live Health Care begins with a thorough medical and psychiatric history. Our primary care physicians will ask detailed questions about the patient’s symptoms, family history, and medical history. We will also perform a physical examination and order laboratory tests to rule out any underlying medical conditions that may be causing the patient’s symptoms.
If necessary, we may refer the patient to a mental health specialist for further evaluation and treatment. We work closely with local mental health professionals to ensure our patients receive the best possible care.
