Mental Status Examination

Mental Status Examination (MSE) is a critical component of neurological and psychiatric assessments, providing a structured approach to evaluating a patient's psychological functioning. Coursera's Mental Status Examination catalogue teaches you the essential domains of the MSE, including appearance, behavior, mood, affect, speech, thought processes, perception, and cognition. You'll learn to observe and document patients' psychological states, interpret findings across various domains, and recognize signs of mental health conditions or neurological disorders. Mastering the Mental Status Examination will empower you to conduct thorough clinical assessments, contribute to accurate diagnoses, and develop effective treatment plans in mental health and neurological care settings.
