Diagnostic Psychology

Diagnostic psychology involves assessing and identifying mental health conditions through various methods such as interviews, questionnaires, and clinical observations. Psychologists use this process to understand an individual's emotional, cognitive, and behavioral functioning, helping to determine the presence of disorders like depression, anxiety, or ADHD. The goal is to gather accurate information to inform effective treatment plans. It’s a careful, systematic process that ensures a comprehensive understanding of a person's psychological health, enabling tailored interventions that support their well-being and functioning.
