Mental Health Review

It is also important to identify if there is a mental disorder contributing to the behaviour and if there is any reason to suspect a mental health problem an assessment of the person’s mental health should be sought to determine if there is a mental illness such as depression contributing to the behaviour. A mental health assessment should identify if autism or a personality disorder is present as management strategies will need to account for these.
