Fitness for Duty Evaluation – MCAP

Comprehensive, unbiased, expert assessment of the mind and body

The Multidisciplinary Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP) is a personalized assessment program offered by PSI Health that accurately diagnoses emotional, behavioral, addictive, and developmental disorders in adults.

Our highly reliable evaluation program depends on evidence-based methodology provided by:

Board-certified psychiatrists
Addiction medicine specialists
Clinicians with specialized training in behavioral health

By looking at the full picture, we provide the answers that individuals and referring entities need.

Why is a comprehensive assessment necessary?

Co-occurring disorders

Addictive and psychiatric disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, stress-related disorders, substance use disorders, and eating disorders often co-occur.

Overlapping symptoms

Symptoms can overlap or mimic one another, creating a complex clinical picture.

Medical conditions

Other medical conditions – ranging from endocrine to neurological problems – may also impact behavior or be at the root of psychiatric symptoms.

An MCAP looks at all factors contributing to

Physical health and psychological well-being

Past, current, chronic, and acute sources of stress.
Physical conditions such as pain disorders and neurological issues.
Mental health and psychiatric conditions.
Genetic, social, cognitive, emotional, familial, and spiritual health.

Disorders we evaluate:

Addictive Disorders

Many people’s drug problem started with a well-meaning prescription painkiller for an injury or pain condition. Another common issue we encounter is professionals with stressful, high responsibility jobs turning to alcohol and drugs to relieve stress. Some individuals are also dealing with behavioral addictions, such as gambling, pornography and hypersexual disorder which lead them to compulsively engage in behavior despite the negative impact on their life and those they love. Our team is experienced in assessing all types of behavioral addictions.

Psychiatric Disorders

Our board-certified psychiatrists have clinical expertise in mood disorders (i.e., anxiety and depression), personality disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), ADHD, panic disorder, adjustment disorders, and the inherent nuances of how co-occurring disorders interact.

Neurocognitive Disorders

Neurocognitive disorders affect learning, memory, and perception. Neurocognitive disorders may be caused by substance abuse, neurological issues, or other chronic conditions. An MCAP incorporates neurocognitive and psychological testing to determine if there is cognitive impairment, the level of impairment, and the cause. Imaging studies and consultations with additional specialists may be recommended as needed.

Medical Conditions

There are many medical conditions that can impact thought processes and behavior. PSI Health has a board-certified internal medicine physician who conducts physical exams. When complex issues are uncovered, we also arrange consultations with a full range of specialists at Northwestern Medicine System when needed.
