Psychiatry UK report - what to expect

rustyb

I’m just over halfway through my estimated 4 week wait for my formal report after being told verbally in my assessment with Psychiatry UK that I meet the criteria for an ASC diagnosis. 

My mind has been in overdrive since the assessment, and I’m hoping the report will answer a lot of my questions. But I’m also worried that I might be expecting too much from the document. 

Has anyone else here had one of these reports from Psychiatry UK? Are they fairly in-depth or just a standard letter so your GP can add the diagnosis to your record?

  • Just for the sake of completeness, thought I would post a quick update to say that I received a copy of my assessment letter this afternoon. 

    I won’t get into the specifics but it confirmed a diagnosis of Level 1 ASD, and was 8 pages in total. There was a lot of detail there relating to my assessment and the questionnaires filled out by me and my wife, as well as suggested next steps for my GP. I was also supplied with a workplace adjustments letter to give to my employer if needed. 

    My immediate reaction is relief, and seeing it all written down has done my imposter syndrome the world of good (though I’m sure it will raise its ugly head again before too long!)

    Hi - happy that you've got diagnosed and finally got the report! I had mine a few months ago. Just wondering, have you spoken to your GP about Psychiatry UK's recommendations at all? I'm trying to find some info about it as my GP basically said they cannot provide any of the recommendations, which really hit me hard. I didn't go private so I would have thought the GP are required to find something? Idk how it work to be honest and I cannot find any help or advice online. Any response would help thank you :)
