Psychological Testing

Psychological Testing

The psychological evaluation is a process of data-gathering about how your family and social history, educational and vocational background, interpersonal relationships, and alcohol and drug use have contributed to your inability to function successfully on a day-to-day basis.

Testing focuses on the three pillars of psychological symptoms: anxiety, depression, and thought disorders. Examining a list of various symptoms suggests one or more psychiatric diagnoses, which help in developing a plan for treating and managing your disorders. While focusing on your past to gather information is important to identify causes of your current problems, Dr. Raffle’s testing focuses more on your current strengths, and what you need in your toolbox to make positive and successful changes in your life.
