How is this different from a full psychiatric evaluation?
It focuses on the emotional impact of the injury. A full psychiatric evaluation also covers broader history and diagnosis.
Is “emotional distress” a diagnosis?
No. It describes real suffering. A clinician may or may not find a diagnosable condition; either way, the impact is documented.
Can family members describe changes they have noticed?
With your permission, input from people close to you may be considered.
Is the evaluation confidential?
Yes. Results are shared only with your written authorization.
