thats a better one to catch the mentals ( if the patient is able to comprehend and address all points )
To catch just the mentals and get a hang of the constitution, I have a questionnaire, which you might have seen me using in some threads.
I am pasting it below; it would be great if the essence of this one is also included in your revised questionnaire.
