variety in assessment procedure

qwerty

I think a lot of people's experiences in the final assessment vary quite a lot, and after viewing various different websites about how the diagnosis is done in their clinics. Some require you to have an assessment with a diagnostic team with multiple professionals, while there are other clinics where the assessment is done with only one person. Some diagnostic interviews last many hours across multiple sessions and some are very short, e.g, 1-2 hours. 

I'm curious what people's experiences are like.

  • I had an appointment which was just with one person - it lasted about three hours I think. They had asked if I could bring a family member who would know about my early years, but I wasn't able to bring my mother as she isn't comfortable talking about emotions and analysing behaviour. So, it was quite exhausting but nowhere near as scary as I imagined before I went.
