Psychiatric Evaluation from WikiPedia:

A psychological evaluation or mental examination is an examination into a person's mental health by a mental health professional such as a psychologist. A psychological evaluation may result in a diagnosis[dubious – discuss] of a mental illness. It is the mental equivalent of a physical examination.

The psychologist or related licensed professional will start by asking questions of the person being evaluated sometimes but not always. In psychological evaluations the administration of standardized psychological tests either by a psychologist, or by someone the psychologist supervises, are often a component of the evaluation.

Applicants to sensitive jobs, such as jobs in intelligence or other jobs handling state secrets, may be required to submit to a psychological evaluation before they can be employed, although usually a background check is much more important.
