Why Get a Second Opinion on Your Psychiatric Diagnosis

It never hurts to get a second opinion! Receiving a diagnosis of any kind can be overwhelming. If you believe something does not feel right or you have any hesitation about your diagnosis, it’s best practice to get a second opinion. You deserve confidence in your mental health care and It's completely normal to seek clarity.

Mental health conditions are complex, and overlapping symptoms can make it difficult to identify the precise source and arrive at an accurate diagnosis. It is also common for individuals to downplay their symptoms to one provider while feeling more open and honest with another.

Another common reason to seek a second opinion psychiatrist could be that your current provider does not specialize in your condition, or you are not responding to your current treatment plan. Regardless of the reason, every person and every condition is unique. You deserve the assurance of an expert psychiatric review to ensure your treatment plan is truly tailored to you.

Our staff of mental health specialists can review your diagnosis with you, provide thorough mental health evaluations, go over alternative treatment plans, and provide you with the expert second opinion consult you need to move forward.
