Mental Health Assessment: What Affects The Test

What Affects the Test
You may not be able to have the test or the results may not be helpful if you:
- Are not able to cooperate with and trust your doctor.
- Are not willing to have a mental health assessment.
- Have physical or emotional problems that interfere with your ability to complete a written test. In most cases, other testing instruments and tools are used if this is a problem for you.
- Use some medicines, alcohol, or illegal drugs.
