moving to a different country?

qwerty

I was wondering if anyone might have the experience or knowledge of how evidence of a diagnosis would be transferred if one moves to a different country? Would I need to have another assessment in that country or is showing them the diagnostic report that was done in the UK enough evidence?

  • This is a pretty interesting question, I'd never actually thought of it.

    Most chartered psychiatrists, if not all use ICD-10/11, or DSM-5 criteria, so I'd imagine it would stand.

    It might depend on which country you are moving to, but it seems to be pretty much standard.

    I'd imagine that your diagnosis would stand.

    May I ask which country you are thinking of moving to?

    I'm not completely sure about moving yet, it's more of a thing I wondered about for a while, but it would be useful to know. And the same question applies for short term travel as well, I think, like if you are asking for an accessible hotel room or something. I guess the answer might differ according to which country you're going to??
