Description
Check a psychiatric questionnaire response against supplied missing codes.
Mental-health records preserve instrument versions, recall wording, reporter roles, unknown responses and a person's own priorities. A missing code differs from a symptom rating, and a normalized preference is a scale position rather than a clinical urgency score. Recording these values does not assess mental state, diagnose a condition or choose care.
Check a psychiatric questionnaire response against supplied missing codes.

}Limitations and assumptions
- No questionnaire score, missingness reason, validity or mental-health assessment is computed.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Consult the original instrument, language/version and reporter context for any substantive assessment. Preserve missing responses and user-selected goals explicitly; use the instrument's complete scoring process rather than treating one label or normalized preference as a clinical score.
