[humanser] Conducting a mental status exam.

[JD Townsend]

Hello:

I will sometimes ask a receptionist if I can't tell;  however I usually just 
ask.  I have been told, "I'm in my pajamas," to, "business atire."  Folks 
are the best at describing themselves, and it gives you additional 
information.  Frequently people tell me, "I'm glad you can't see me," 
explaining how ashamed they are with their appearance.

Good afternoon all, I have a quick question. For those who are therapist, 
when you need to administer a mental status exam how do you go about 
answering the questions that are visual in nature about the client? For 
example, one of the questions is what the person looks like, what they're 
wearing, their facial expressions. Thanks for any input and if you need 
clarification feel free to ask and I can clarify once I am at a computer.
