What does this mean in treatment for depression?
May 15th, 2010 | 
Author: When i was was reading about depression (Don’t need to mention why) it says on most pages on the diagnoses the child will be Evaluated? What does this mean what will they do?
An evaluation can take a day, a month or years. People (professionals) will watch your behaviour, listen to what you say, which is very intrusive at times, and overseer how you communicate and socialize with others. When depression is the topic for a child, it means not only will the child be interviewed and watched, but so will his/her family surroundings come under scrutiny because a proper diagnosis must be made before treatment is given. It can be a rather unnerving situation to go through, having very personal questions asked. If a child is very young without conversation, then they are placed in a room either alone or with someone,(with alot of toys) and just watched. Behaviour can speak a thousand words to someone who is trained to understand it. Hope this helps and good mental health
Posted in treatment for depression
it means that they will ask you a bunch of questions. to find out what is bothering you and to see if you are really depressed or if the problem is something other than depression.
References :
It means that a psychotherapist, psychologist or psychiatrist will assess your mental state based on your answers to a psychological questionnaire that has a scale for depression to help screen among other possible diagnosis (e.g. bipolar, etc.). The evaluation will also include observations made on your body language during the interview process.
I hope this helps!
