The Mental Status Exam (MSE) is a critical tool used by healthcare professionals in primary care to assess a patient's cognitive and emotional well-being. It examines various aspects of a patient's mental health, including their appearance, behavior, speech, mood, thought processes, cognition, and judgment. The MSE is concise yet comprehensive, aiding in the early identification of mental health issues, even for those with limited access to specialized services. It informs primary care practitioners on when to refer patients to mental health experts, start interventions, or handle mental health components of chronic illnesses. Conducted through observation, interviews, and tests, the MSE is customized to each patient's unique attributes like age and cultural background. This exam is essential for detecting and addressing mental health issues early within the general populace.
