Psychological testing and evaluation, sometimes called psychological assessment, involves a series of tests that help a qualified therapist determine the cause of mental health symptoms. The goal of this type of testing is to identify the correct diagnosis and provide the appropriate treatment. The underlying cause of the problems someone is facing isn't always clear and tests can help provide clarity for a wide variety of issues. For example, if a child is struggling in school, they may undergo tests for learning disabilities. Evaluations can also help identify things like personality traits, anger management issues, anxiety, depression, interpersonal skills, memory, ADHD and more. If you are interested in psychological tests and evaluation, contact one of TherapyDen’s experts today.
If you seek diagnostic clarity, assessment can be a helpful first step. Identifying and understanding your diagnoses can help you achieve your therapy goals faster and effectively. Testing can identify and utilize your emotional, cognitive, personality and social strengths and areas of growth. It provides personalized recommendations for symptom management. For instance, ADHD testing can qualify you for medication and accommodations at school, work, and on standardized testing.
