A member asked:
What happens during a psych assessment for depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's a good talk: Typically, if a patient is being evaluated for depression the doctor will complete an initial psychiatric evaluation. This actually is a comprehensive general mental health assessment that often results in a diagnostic impression. If patients make the initial appointment because they are feeling depressed the doctor will spend extra time asking about all the symptoms of depression.
