Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clinical psychologists usually make determinations about mental illnesses by making observations of the patient's behavior and descriptions of personal experience. This helps to identify symptoms characteristic of the disorder and assess the severity of those symptoms. Blood tests, studying the concentration of schizophrenia in Jennifer's geographic area, and heredity may help in understanding the causes of schizophrenia, but they are not used to diagnose the disorder.
