A member asked:
Do occupational therapists make mental health diagnostics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, not usually.: They can be separately licensed and work in the capacity of an OT, and then can diagnose. Usually, they treat based upon the needs of an individual, which follows from the diagnose gleaned elsewhere.
