5. • Helpful answers include those that
specifically describe the patient's mood,
such as "depressed," "anxious," "good,"
and "tired
6. Affect
• A patient's affect is defined in the following
terms: expansive (contagious), euthymic
(normal), constricted (limited variation),
blunted (minimal variation), and flat (no
variation)
7. Speech
• Document information on all aspects of the
patient's speech, including quality,
quantity, rate, and volume of speech
during the interview
8. Thought process
• . The process of thoughts can be
described with the following terms:
looseness of association (irrelevance),
flight of ideas (change topics), racing
(rapid thoughts), tangential (departure
from topic with no return), circumstantial
(being vague, ie, "beating around the
bush")
9. • word salad (nonsensical responses, ie,
jabberwocky), derailment (extreme
irrelevance), neologism (creating new
words), clanging (rhyming words), punning
(talking in riddles), thought blocking
(speech is halted), and poverty (limited
content).
10. Thought content
• To determine whether or not a patient is
experiencing hallucinations, ask some of
the following questions.
• "Do you hear voices when no one else is
around?" "Can you see things that no one
else can see?“
• "Do you have other unexplained
sensations such as smells, sounds, or
feelings?"
11. Aspects of thought content are as follows
• Obsession and compulsions:
Ask the following questions to determine if a
patient has any obsessions or
compulsions. "Are you afraid of dirt?" "Do
you wash your hands often or count things
over and over?" “
12. • Phobias:
Determine if patients have any fears that
cause them to avoid certain situations.
The following are some possible questions
to ask. "Do you have any fears, including
fear of animals, needles, heights, snakes,
public speaking, or crowds?"
13. Insight
• Assess the patients' understanding of the
illness. To assess patients' insight to their
illness, the interviewer may ask patients if
they need help or if they believe their
feelings or conditions are normal. A
patient's attitude toward the clinician and
the illness plays an important part to
developing insight into their condition and
overall prognosis.
14. Judgment
• Estimate the patient's judgment based on
the history or on an imaginary scenario. To
elicit responses that evaluate a patient's
judgment adequately, ask the following
question. "What would you do if you
smelled smoke in a crowded theater?"
(good response is "call 911" or "get help";
poor response is "do nothing" or "light a
cigarette").
15. Impulsivity
• Estimate the degree of the patient's
impulse control. Ask the patient about
doing things without thinking or planning.
Ask about hobbies such as coin collecting,
golf, skydiving, or rock climbing
16. Reliability
• Estimate the patient's reliability. Determine
if the patient seems reliable, unreliable, or
if it is difficult to determine. This
determination requires collateral
information of an accurate assessment,
diagnosis, and treatment.
