Define the mental status exam. Imagine a hypothetical client visiting a clinician. The client is distressed by feelings of anxiety or depression. Highlight some of the things the clinician might note with respect to the first three categories of the mental status exam, as they are described in the textbook. Do not worry about exactly how accurately your descriptions reflect specific DSM-5 disorders—just imagine a client who is either anxious or depressed, and create plausible notes that accurately reflect the first three categories on the exam.
