Complex Psychiatric Case Review (Records-Based)
A Complex Psychiatric Case Review is a consultative service for patients or clinicians who need expert evaluation of a challenging psychiatric case based entirely on existing documentation, without a live appointment with the patient. This service is particularly useful when:
The patient has a complex medication history or multiple failed treatment trials
There is diagnostic uncertainty or overlapping psychiatric conditions
Clinicians are seeking guidance on medication sequencing, augmentation strategies, or polypharmacy management
Additional expert insight is desired before initiating advanced treatments such as TMS, ketamine, or ECT
What the Review Includes:
Thorough review of records, including:
Psychiatric evaluations and progress notes
Medication history and treatment response
Laboratory and relevant medical documentation
Identification of treatment gaps or potential alternative strategies
Evidence-based medication recommendations tailored to the patient’s clinical history
Written summary report, which can be shared with the treating clinician or care team
Optional follow-up consultation call for clarifying recommendations
Important Notes:
This is a records-based consult only; no direct prescribing occurs
Emergency or crisis management is not included
Designed to support and inform ongoing care, not replace it
