Hi
I'm 47 yrs old and have recently been refused by the NHS to even go on there waiting list for diagnosis.
I was thinking of going private but I'm worried about who is qualified to carry out the test.
Is it only psychologists who are qualified to diagnose? I am in touch with a cbt therapist who said she is qualified to assess but I'm not sure if she is legit.

A psychologist or psychiatrist can diagnose you. Certain paediatricians can diagnose kids. A CBT therapist cannot do this, and it’s completely wrong for them to suggest they can.
