Mental Status Exam

The Mental Status Exam (MSE) is a standard tool used by clinicians to assess the basic functioning of a client. An MSE is often completed during an initial psychosocial, and at regular intervals throughout treatment. The assessment categories include mood, cognition, perception, thoughts, behaviors, insight, and judgement.
