Mental Health Assessment & Evaluation

Having a mental health assessment gives your doctor a clear picture of the way you think, feel, reason, and remember. The mental health test assesses your emotional well-being through a series of questions.

Life can be difficult, and everyone goes through tough times. But being depressed, anxious, avoiding others, and having trouble thinking clearly may be more than the ups and downs most people feel now and then. If you notice that such symptoms impede your life or that of a loved one, it is crucial to take action. Getting the help you need early on can prevent symptoms from getting worse and will make a full recovery more likely.

Types of Assessments to Expect

• • Physical Exam
  • Lab Test
  • Mental Health History
  • Personal History
  • Mental Health Evaluation
  • Cognitive Evaluation

Talk to your primary care doctor about your symptoms; or seek help directly from a mental health professional. If you’re reluctant to see a mental health professional, reach out to someone else who may be able to help guide you to treatment, whether it’s a friend or loved one, a teacher, a faith leader, or someone else you trust.
