Psychodiagnostic assessments are generally conducted to help clarify concerns regarding a person’s behavior, personality traits, mood, emotional functioning, and cognitive processes. Sometimes a person, a family member or a treatment provider may be wondering if a person’s behavior meets a psychological diagnosis. The assessment includes a comprehensive examination of the person’s personality and psychological functioning. Results of a psychodiagnostic assessment are used to provide symptom etiology (e.g., possible reasons for behavior), relevant diagnoses (e.g., does a person’s symptoms meet a diagnosis such as anxiety, developmental disorder, or neurological disorder) and guidance for treatment (e.g., need for psychotherapy, speech language pathology, psychiatry etc.) if necessary.
