Clinical assessment refers to the systematic process of gathering information about an individual’s psychological functioning in order to understand, diagnose, and plan treatment for psychological disorders. It involves multiple methods that examine different aspects of human functioning, including biological, biochemical, neuropsychological, and psychophysiological domains. Each form of assessment provides unique insights, and when integrated, they contribute to a comprehensive understanding of mental health conditions. Biological assessment focuses on identifying structural or functional abnormalities in the brain and nervous system that may contribute to psychological disorders. Since behavior and mental processes are closely linked with brain functioning, biological methods help clinicians understand underlying neurological mechanisms. Techniques such as brain imaging are central to biological assessment. Structural imaging methods, including computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), allow clinicians to observe physical brain structures and detect tumors, injuries, or abnormalities in brain regions associated with disorders like schizophrenia or dementia. Functional imaging methods, such as functional MRI (fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans, measure brain activity by tracking blood flow or metabolic processes, enabling researchers to study how different brain areas function during cognitive or emotional tasks. Electroencephalography (EEG) is another biological tool that records electrical activity in the brain through electrodes placed on the scalp, often used in assessing seizure disorders, sleep disturbances, and certain psychological conditions. Biological assessment also includes genetic testing and family history analysis, which help determine hereditary predispositions to disorders such as bipolar disorder, depression, or autism spectrum conditions. These methods provide objective evidence that complements psychological evaluation. Biochemical assessment examines
