Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A clinical assessment may involve being asked questions about what is bothering you, filling out the MMPI, having interviews with family members, and possibly even having a CAT scan. However, it should not involve being told what illness you have without a proper diagnosis and evaluation. This is known as diagnostic overshadowing and can have negative effects on the patient's treatment and mental health. A diagnosis should only be given after a thorough assessment and evaluation by a qualified professional.
