Adequate training is required for professional counselors to diagnose emotional and mental disorders. This involves specialized education, supervised experience, and ongoing professional development in assessment and diagnosis, rather than simply attending a single class or reading diagnostic manuals. Proper training ensures ethical and accurate practice within the counselor’s scope of competence.
