Abstract

One of the evaluations and studies to assess the health of psychiatric patients with criminal background is to use appropriate methods. In this field, evaluation of cognitive health and monitoring of problems such as structural and functional memory and functional apraxia, and executive functions, especially for psychiatric patients, are important. The use of measurement methods that can be used to accurately assess the cognitive status of patients as quickly as possible can in practice help the specialist and therapist. In this paper, we have been focusing on this issue using the clock drawing test. Also, using an evolutionary Particle Swarm Algorithm, we conducted an assessment of systemic diagnosis by comparing healthy individuals and study cases that helped us with decision making.
