Psychiatric Evaluation in Falmouth
Falmouth professionals are practiced at managing everything, which is why their anxiety and depression arrive at our door years late, managed, minimized, and finally unmanageable. Between travel calendars, Foreside commutes, and a town where reputations are neighbors, the local default is to handle it privately, indefinitely, without help. The way out starts with an accurate diagnosis. shrinkMD provides full psychiatric evaluations to Falmouth by secure video, with a board certified clinician and a first appointment withwithout the typical months-long wait.

Why shrinkMD
Made to fit life in Falmouth
We make actual help as private as handling it alone: secure video from home or office, scheduling that flexes around travel weeks, and continuity across the ten states we serve when the calendar leaves Maine.
There is no insurance billing, so no claims data exists anywhere, and records move only with your signature. Flat fees, published before booking, same clinician every visit.
What's included
The evaluation, start to finish
Before the visit, you gather the short list that sharpens everything: current medications, your pharmacy, and any past psychiatric medications with dose, duration, and response. The appointment itself runs 45 to 60 minutes by secure video, covering your history, screening tools, medical contributors, and goals, in plain conversation rather than interrogation.
By the end you know three things: what this is, what we recommend, and what to expect in the first six weeks. Validated scores from this visit become the baseline every follow up is measured against, prescriptions go to your pharmacy the same day when indicated, and therapy is coordinated when it strengthens the plan. The next appointment is on the calendar before you close the laptop.

Frequently asked questions
Good questions, clear answers
I travel two weeks a month. Can treatment hold together?
Usually, yes. Visits happen while you are in any state we serve, and we time follow ups around your itinerary. Continuity is a planning problem, and we plan.
Is this discreet enough for a small town?
Structurally so. Nothing to see, nothing billed, nothing in any database. Discretion here is architecture, not a favor.
Will I get a diagnosis at the first visit?
Usually yes, a working diagnosis and plan the same day. When something genuinely needs more information or records first, we say exactly what and why.
What should I've ready for the appointment?
Current medications and doses, your pharmacy, any past diagnoses, and most importantly every psychiatric medication you've tried with dose, duration, and response. That history guides everything.
What if I need more than telehealth can provide?
Then we tell you plainly and help arrange the right level of care. Knowing our limits is part of the clinical standard, not an exception to it.
