Hello Readers of the KMA Therapy blog! Welcome! Today we will be talking about 'What Happens After a Clinical Psychologist Gives Me a Diagnosis?'

Before a we start talking about the topic for today, let's start with 'What is a Clinical Psychologist?' and 'What is a Diagnosis?'

So... What is a Clinical Psychologist?

Well, a Clinical Psychologist is someone who is trained to help people deal with a persons problem(s). They are also known to be professionals who promote the health of individuals physically, mentally and socially. Clinical Psychologists have diverse training experience and different fields of expertise. Clinical Psychologists are known to be experts at treating children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, groups and the elderly for their specialized profession. These professionals also provide consultations with other experts (i.e. social workers, teachers, nurses) and programs for specific people. Another hobby that Clinical Psychologists does are teaching and researching. The majority of Clinical Psychologists narrow their profession through working with only specific populations, therefore it is critical to ask individual experts on their specific range of training, expertise and profession.

Now that we all know what a Clinical Psychologist is and what their occupation is, we can begin on the subject of what a Diagnosis is. What is a Diagnosis?

A diagnosis in the medical field is considered as the process where the professional determines the root of the problem through identifying the cause by a individual's symptoms. Clinical Psychologists have been trained thoroughly so that they can make assessments and make practical analysis on an individual's mental, emotional, social, and behavioural action. Diagnosis is used formally and informally. Diagnosis that is used "Formally" is considered through broadly accepted criteria. Diagnosis that is used "Informally" is considered through family motion by applying a appropriate intellectual ideal. Diagnosis that is most successful is when the Clinical Psychologist can make probable interpretation, system identification and an understanding of the unconscious stage that individual's contain.

For our topic today, 'What Happens After a Clinical Psychologist Gives Me a Diagnosis?'

We will go ahead by explaining the after math of a diagnosis. A diagnosis is continued work with the Clinical Psychologist over a duration of days that has been assigned to you at the very beginning before your sessions begun. Once you have completed the duration for your diagnosis your Clinical Psychologist will see an over all look at your progress and will ask you on how you think you are at this point. "Are you satisfied with what you have achieved through diagnosis?" and so on. If you feel that you are mentally, emotionally, socially stable and your behavioural action has become the "norm" of society, you will discontinue your diagnosis. If you ever feel you would like to come in for a session with your Psychologist, they are always welcoming you back! Just give a call in!
