Psychological assessments are tools used by mental health professionals to evaluate an individual's cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. These assessments can include interviews, questionnaires, and standardized tests designed to measure various aspects of a person's mental health, such as intelligence, personality traits, and emotional well-being. The results of psychological assessments help clinicians understand a person's strengths and weaknesses, guiding treatment decisions and interventions. They can be used for various purposes, including diagnosing mental health disorders, assessing learning disabilities, and evaluating the effectiveness of therapy.
