Little Fatbitch · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : False, Explanation :  The MMPI-II is a personality assessment tool, while a DSM-5 diagnosis is a clinical judgment made by a mental health professional based on a range of factors, including symptoms and behaviors reported by the client, observation of the client, and any assessment tools used. While the MMPI-II may provide important information for informing the diagnostic process, it does not in and of itself result in a DSM-5 diagnosis.
