Document background
The Psychology Risk Assessment is a critical document used in Pakistani healthcare and organizational settings to evaluate and manage psychological risks. This assessment is required when there's a need to evaluate an individual's psychological state and potential risks in various contexts, including clinical, occupational, educational, or legal settings. The document must comply with the Mental Health Ordinance 2001 and provincial mental health laws, while following professional psychological practice standards. It includes comprehensive evaluation of risk factors, mental status examination, risk level determination, and specific management recommendations. The assessment serves multiple purposes: clinical documentation, legal compliance, risk management, and treatment planning. It's particularly important in situations involving safety-sensitive positions, crisis intervention, or when evaluating capacity for specific roles or responsibilities. The document must be completed by qualified mental health professionals and may require regular updates based on the identified risk level and context.
