Diagnoses are made based on a thorough evaluation of a client’s symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, and current circumstances. The evaluation uses standard assessment tools and clinical interviews.
It’s important to note that diagnoses are not static and can change over time as a client’s symptoms and circumstances evolve. The diagnosis is not meant to be a guideline for treatment, but should allow you to understand your client’s experiences.
A licensed mental health professional can provide a thorough evaluation of your mental condition and make recommendations to you.
