- A psychological evaluation. You will answer questions about your thinking, feelings, and behaviors.

Treatment depends on which mental disorder you have and how serious it is. You and your provider will work on a treatment plan just for you. It usually involves some type of therapy. You may also take medicines. Some people also need social support and education on managing their condition.
In some cases, you may need more intensive treatment. You may need to go to a psychiatric hospital. This could be because your mental illness is severe.

In the hospital, you will get counseling, group discussions, and activities with mental health professionals and other patients.
