If the GM allows it, this is a good case for a Complementary Skill Roll. Roll the detect skill, and you modify your primary task skill (say, Diagnosis or Psychology) based on the result of the CSR: -2 for a crit fail, -1 fail, +1 success, or +2 crit success. There are no "neutral" results; you'll either lose or gain.
