Hi, I'm.looking for advise or to hear others experiences getting diagnosis from Psychiatry-UK.
I was told on the phone that I could be assessed without the informant form if I could include my school reports.
Filled in 28 page form and sent in my reports only to be informed that without an informant report I am unlikely to be assessed by them?
I cannot be the only person seeking later life diagnosis who has no parents or family able to fill in these exhaustive forms?
First Post here, hoping others have been successful and had good experience from this company, I was refered by my GP.

I just got my diagnosis from Skylight Psychiatry. I’m 59 so no parents available. I completed a lengthy questionnaire about my childhood. My “quirky” traits are part of family lore so together with my excellent long term memory, that was plenty to go on. I doubt my school reports from the 60s and 70s would’ve been any use.
