Ooops... I posted the wrong example, but it's still the answer I'm proposing.

See: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/partner/pp/pdf/IMM57...

"Mini-Mental Exam (MME) A brief screening exam to assess for dementia. Low scores are seen in dementia, delirium, schizophrenia. "

"It is also common practice to perform a mini-mental examination (MME) when the resident moves in, and periodically thereafter, to determine cognitive status."

And this fits in your context ... a psychiatric evaluation.
