What to Expect during an Evaluation for Depression

Our providers at Huntsman Mental 人妻中出视频 Institute (HMHI) evaluate your symptoms to make a diagnosis. Screening tools such as written questionnaires about your recent emotions, feelings, and activities are commonly used. Our comprehensive psychiatric evaluations at HMHI take one to two hours.

Individual patient history is important for an accurate diagnosis. Specific diagnoses rely on a precise framework of symptom type and duration, so the more detailed history you can provide, the better. Bring a family member or friend to your appointment to give an outside perspective if you can.

No lab tests or imaging tools are used to diagnose depression. However, lab tests may be done to rule out other conditions that have symptoms similar to depression, such as hypothyroidism.
