Why choose a Mental Health Assessment?
A mental health evaluation can provide useful information and insights into behavioral problems, emotional issues, and cognitive difficulties.
We strive to provide helpful information based on the assessment findings and outline treatment recommendations that are tailored to your specific needs.
Three Types of Mental Health Assessments
Psychological Assessments
Psychological testing is conducted when there is concern that mental health issues significantly affect performance in various areas of life.
Common reasons for referral include mood swings, impulsive behavior, and adjustment problems.
Possible contributing factors may include Depression or Bipolar, Post-Traumatic Stress, and other life stressors.
Neuropsychological Assessments
Neuropsychological assessments are helpful when cognitive problems interfere with daily life.
Common reasons for referral include memory problems, attention problems, and more.
Possible contributing factors may include the onset of dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke, and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
Forensic Evaluations
Forensic psychology is a specialized field that lies at the intersection of psychology and the legal system.
At Mile High Psychology, we provide comprehensive mental health assessments for individuals involved in legal proceedings.
Our specialized assessments address mental health considerations relevant to specific legal issues.
Overlap between Psychological and Cognitive Functioning
There is intricate relationship between psychological and cognitive functioning.
Complex interplay:
Many mental health conditions can affect cognitive abilities, and cognitive issues can contribute to psychological problems.
Comprehensive assessments:
By assessing both psychological and cognitive functioning, we can gain a more thorough assessment of problem areas.
Clinical Assessment versus Forensic Evaluation
Understanding the difference between these two different types of mental health evaluations:
Clinical Assessment
- Purpose: Requested for mental health or medical care.
- Focus: Understanding and addressing the client’s mental well-being.
- Disclosure: Results shared with the client or authorized individuals.
Forensic Evaluations
- Purpose: Occurs in legal contexts such as criminal cases or civil claims.
- Focus: Providing information to parties like attorneys, caseworkers, or judges.
- Application: Findings may be used in legal or administrative proceedings.
It’s up to you today to start making healthy choices. Not choices that are just healthy for your body, but healthy for your mind.
