L'examen de l'état mental vise à faire des observations pour permettre au praticien de porter un jugement sur la maladie psychiatrique au moment de la consultation. Même si l'histoire clinique du patient reste stable, son état mental peut se modifier de jour en jour, sinon d'heure en heure. Même si un patient reste muet, incohérent ou refuse de répondre aux questions, une observation attentive permettra d'obtenir de nombreux renseignements.
