Question about who did your assessment as an adult

Seahorses

Hi,

I'm currently about to do an initial assessment as an older adult. If you have done one, how many people were involved - were you assessed by a single person from start to finish, or more than one? I noticed the assessment place mentioned a 'multi-disciplinary team' but in practice that is two people: one for initial, everything else by a second person. Is that normal for adult assessments?

Thank you!

  • Hi  

    My assessment for ADHD was with Psychiatry UK with one psychiatrist. I had an initial approximately one hour appointment, then once more information had been gathered from my parents another shorter appointment when the same psychiatrist confirmed my ADHD diagnosis.

    My assessment for autism was with Psychiatry UK, with a psychiatrist and a ASD support worker. It was an approximately one hour appointment and it was confirmed I had Autism.

    Wishing you the best with your assessment (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)
