It is usually a combination of forms, psychologist administered tests and an interview and can take several hours, sometimes two or three appointments to gather all the data from testing. Then the psychologist will analyze the results of the tests and write an extensive report. It can provide a pretty accurate diagnosis (or set of diagnoses) for people with hard to treat issues, so it might be worth it.
