Identifying mental conditions
A psychological diagnosis is a formal identification of a mental health condition based on observed symptoms, clinical interviews, and established criteria.
Clinicians use diagnostic manuals like the DSM to classify conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, or schizophrenia.
The diagnosis guides treatment decisions and may affect insurance coverage, disability claims, or legal proceedings.
