Researchers want to improve how doctors diagnose mental health conditions by testing a new interview method. The study compares two approaches: a standard diagnostic interview, and the same interview combined with a life history calendar that helps you remember important events from your past. The calendar is designed to make it easier for you to recall when mental health symptoms occurred.
When people are asked to remember mental health symptoms from years ago, they often forget details or get timelines mixed up. This study exists to see whether using a calendar of your life events helps you give more accurate information, so doctors can better understand which mental health conditions you may have experienced.

If you are randomly selected and agree to participate, you will be assigned to one of two groups. One group will complete a standard mental health diagnostic interview. The other group will first fill out a life history calendar by answering questions about important personal events since birth, then complete the same diagnostic interview. The study aims to enroll 2,500 participants in Hong Kong.
