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.

  • So sorry to hear things have been hard for you.  It sounds like a diagnosis may explain quite a lot to you and others. And who is to say what's weird - we are all different.

    The more you can convey to the GP the more they can help. They way be able to help with anxiety and depression whilst you are waiting  for a referral. They prescribed some tablets for my son which made him feel a lot better, but if they don't know you feel bad they can't help.

    If you have seen a psychologist before mention this too. I don't supose it will be the same one you see, but if there were difficulties in the past they will hopefully refer you straight away. Take your lists , then if you are finding it hard you can just hand them over and hopefully the doctor will understand.
