NHS assment times, whats yours?

NAS65321

I was wondering are any of you seeing that NHS assment times seem to be massivley increasing? In jan 2020 I went to my GP and they reccomended me for a Autism and ADHD assment. I am 100% on the autism side, not convinced I have ADHD. Today I finally get through to who will take me for the assment, that is the Surrey borders trust. Having been told at the start it was 2 years we are now looking that its will be nearer 3! They are dealing with assments from September 2019 and all they can say is that it will be this year!If I had been in the same place as I was two years ago I would be ok, but I am not. 2020 completely broke me and although I am slowly recovering my problems are 200% bigger than there were when refered.

Anybody else seeing silly waiting times?

  • yes i got put on the waiting list on July 2021, i got told the waiting list is for 2 years, then few monthes later i got told it will be 4 years, they told me it is because of the amount of referals they are getting but they are hiring more staff so the waiting list may get shorter for us.

    i just tell myself i have autism now as thats the only outcome i am only getting from it, it does not help with the mental health difficulties we face anyway.

    maybe start trying to get help with your mental health if its becoming hard for you
