Assessment Waiting Times and Experiences (Especially for Psychiatry UK)?

LavenderHaze

Hi all,

I've recently been referred for adult ASC assessment on the NHS with Psychiatry UK. Their website currently says assessments typically happen up to 12 weeks from referral.

Its something that has been occupying a lot of my thoughts - I struggle with anticipation and waiting for things. I'm itching to be diagnosed (or be told I don't have it, either way)

I was wondering if anyone could share how long they waited for their assessment appointment, especially for Psychiatry UK, and how long after their assessment did they get their diagnosis?

  • Hi did you get anywhere with Psychiatry-UK? if so how was your experience. After 3 years on the NHS waiting list, and no appointment in sight I have been annoying my GP and now they are refering me to them. Been told 4-6 months wait time but thats much better then the open ended NHS wait time. So happy just to get getting somewhere!
