What Is Diagnostic Clarification?
Understanding Diagnostic Clarification
Diagnostic clarification is a comprehensive psychological evaluation designed to resolve uncertainty around mental health diagnoses. It’s especially useful when symptoms overlap, evolve over time, or when previous diagnoses have been inconsistent or unhelpful.

Who Benefits from Diagnostic Clarification?
• Individuals with multiple or conflicting diagnoses.
• People whose symptoms don’t respond to treatment as expected.
