About this condition

How behavioral & emotional difficulties is evaluated and treated

Help with anger, emotional swings, impulsivity, and behaviors that strain work, school, or relationships.

Care for Delray Beach patients begins with a full psychiatric evaluation: current symptoms and how long they have lasted, psychiatric and medical history, medications and supplements, sleep, substance use, family history, and the daily stressors specific to work, school, and family life. From there we discuss a diagnosis in plain language and build a treatment plan together.

When medication is appropriate, options, expected benefits, side effects, and monitoring are reviewed at each visit. When helpful, care is coordinated with therapy, primary care, or other specialists, and laboratory or psychological testing may be recommended.

Getting to care from Delray Beach

Delray Beach is roughly 50 miles north; Atlantic Avenue traffic plus I-95 typically makes the trip to Hialeah an 80-minute drive each way.

Telehealth handles most Delray Beach care, with bilingual appointments and coordination with local therapists and recovery-community providers when that is part of the plan. For behavioral and emotional difficulties specifically, that means Delray Beach patients are not asked to absorb a 47-mile trip in order to keep behavioral and emotional difficulties treatment consistent. Appointments are available in English and Spanish, and records can be shared with your primary care physician or therapist in Delray Beach on request.
