Help!Trying to be diagnosed.

v23

Hello, I was wondering if someone could help with trying to get diagnosed. I know I need to go to my GP and try to be reffered but I'm unsure about how to bring it up to my GP and as you can imagine I'm feeling scared,Thanks.

I'm 19 and in Scotland.

  • I'd print the questionnaire as a starting point.  mums often only see the good in their children and are so used to being with them they don't always recognise their differences.

    I would try and think of a list of everyday things you find hard. Do you suffer from depression, or feel particularly lonely , or have found it hard  at school/ getting a job/ college etc, are you particularly anxious.

    I think you are more likely to get the referral if you explain the difficulties you are experiencing. I suspect you have some worries or you wouldn't have been looking at diagnosis, but i hope things aren't too hard for you.
