Mental health care is just as important as doing the same for our physical well-being. A healthy mind is a key to having a fit and well body capable of doing amazing things.
Psychologists perform a psychiatric evaluation to determine and observe a client’s behavior to arrive at a diagnosis and guide treatment. They are often done for numerous reasons, such as children having a hard time at school, as well as testing for dexterity, reaction time, and memory for those with brain injuries.
The purpose of a general psychiatric evaluation is to establish the presence of a diagnosis requiring treatment, collect data to support the diagnosis, develop a treatment plan or assess the need for immediate intervention, and identification of any long-term problems requiring monitoring and care.
The American Psychological Association shares, “tests can help a psychologist understand whether the patient might have issues with anger management or interpersonal skills or certain personality traits that contribute to the problem. Other tests evaluate whether clients are experiencing emotional disorders such as anxiety or depression.”
