Mental Health Assessment
What To Think About
- Some mental health problems can be hard to diagnose. You may need more than one mental health assessment and other tests to accurately diagnose your problem.
- What your family and friends see or think about your symptoms can sometimes help your doctor diagnose a mental health problem. Consider having a family member or friend come with you to your appointment.
- Contact your human resources department or local health department to find out what support services are available in your area.
