The healthcare professional may be interested in knowing about any prescription drugs or nutritional supplements, as well as herbal remedies that the patient may be taking, too. This is because some physical ailments have similar symptoms to mental disorders, and the healthcare professional needs to determine if they are a result of mental illness.
The healthcare professional may also inquire about the patient's work family, social life, and work. They will look for signs of a lack of motivation, issues in maintaining relationships and avoiding situations that trigger negative emotions.

CFI is designed to provide clinicians a comprehensive view of a patient's cultural background. It also comes with additional modules that collect data from caregivers and family members.
