Immigration psychological evaluations serve as important tools for documenting medical conditions in the context of immigration processes. While these evaluations primarily focus on psychological well-being, they also consider the impact of medical conditions on an individual’s functioning.
Immigration psychological evaluations also explore how the foreigner helps the qualifying relative that is suffering medical conditions or mental health issues. The immigration psychologist explores how the foreigner plays a role in alleviating the hardships caused by medical or mental health conditions suffered by the qualifying relative.
During immigration psychological evaluations, psychologists gather comprehensive information about the individual’s medical history, including any existing medical conditions, treatments, and medications. This information helps provide a holistic understanding of the individual’s health status and enables the identification of potential connections between physical health and mental well-being.
