Psychological Evaluation
Once the doctor has ruled out all of the underlying medical issues, you might need to have a psychological evaluation. Although this would be performed by a general physician, it is advisable to visit a professional mental expert, such as a nurse practitioner, clinical psychologist, or psychiatrist. During this process, the overall mental health would be assessed, including the general demeanor and your appearance. You would also be asked about different moods and thoughts. Some other aspects that would be included in the test might be suicidal thoughts, violent behaviors, history of drug or alcohol abuse, delusions, as well as hallucinations. [11]
