psychiatric evaluations
Sanity check procedures
Psychiatric evaluations are formal assessments of a person's mental health, typically conducted by psychiatrists or psychologists.
They involve interviews, questionnaires, and sometimes psychological testing to diagnose conditions, determine fitness for duty, or assess competency: The court ordered a psychiatric evaluation before sentencing.
In legal contexts, evaluations may determine whether someone can stand trial or was mentally competent when committing a crime.
