WHAT IT IS

What a Mental Health Evaluation Involves

A mental health evaluation is a clinical interview and assessment process designed to give a comprehensive picture of your current mental health. It covers your history, current symptoms, functional impact, and relevant background.

The result is a clinical assessment that can be used for treatment planning, to support a diagnosis, or to provide documentation for employers, courts, schools, disability applications, or other third parties depending on the purpose of the evaluation.
