What Is a Court Ordered Psychiatric Evaluation?

A court ordered psychiatric evaluation is a mental health assessment requested by a court, attorney, probation officer, or another legal professional. The purpose is to better understand a person’s mental health, emotional functioning, decision-making, behavior, and current needs.

What the Evaluation May Include

During the evaluation, your therapist may ask about your mental health history, current symptoms, stressors, relationships, daily functioning, substance use history, and any concerns connected to the court request. The goal is to gather accurate information and provide a clear clinical picture to help the court better understand relevant mental health factors.

How the Evaluation Can Be Used

After the assessment, a written report or letter may be provided if appropriate. This documentation may help support court proceedings, treatment recommendations, custody decisions, competency questions, or other legal needs.
