Mental health evaluation forms are tools or procedures healthcare professionals use to assess and analyze a patient’s mental health status and collect data about the patient’s emotional, psychological, and behavioral well-being. The data is used to diagnose mental health conditions and to manage treatment planning. The structure of these forms is generally a questionnaire with some scoring against the patient’s symptoms, experiences, behavioral, and emotional state. Hospitals, clinics, therapy centers, and psychologists always need these forms.
Here are some of the most commonly used mental health evaluation forms/sheets.
The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is a widely used self-report assessment tool designed to measure the severity of an individual’s depression symptoms.
The Mental Status Examination (MSE) Form provides a comprehensive evaluation of a patient’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning, helping healthcare professionals assess mental health status.
