It is important to document and cover all MSE domains. The mental status examination or mental state examination, abbreviated MSE, is an important part of the clinical assessment process in clinical practice. It is a structured way of observing and describing a patient's current state of mind, under the domains of appearance, attitude, behavior, mood and affect, speech, thought process, thought content, perception, cognition, insight and judgment. Be mindful that culture is a powerful determinant of clients' mental states.
