Does anyone know what "Treatment Diagnosis" your setting uses when treating psychiatric conditions. The question was raised by our organizations leadership whether "Psychological Impairment" actually implies that the OT is diagnosing a Psychological Issue. They posed other wording such as "Social" or "Coping" Impairment." Any thoughts?

Just to add to the conversation I would recommend using the MOHO model and tools to asess occupational needs related to psychological impairment, and consider interventions in practice. We use it in my community mental health team given the evidence behind the model in mental health. Abigail
