In order to determine a diagnosis and check for connected complications, you may have:

• A physical exam. The doctor will try to rule out physical problems that could cause their symptoms.
• Lab tests. These may comprise, for instance, a check of your thyroid function or a screening for alcohol and drugs.

Sometimes this is difficult to find out which psychological illness may be causing their symptoms. But taking the time and effort to get the accurate diagnosis will help determine the appropriate treatment. The defining indications for each mental illness are thorough in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association.
