Where do I get a diagnosis?

stranger

On Friday, I phoned CMHT; as they'd promised to call back when I phoned them 2 weeks ago. I was given the same rubbish again about how they can't give me any access to my medical notes regarding this. Yet, anyone else (well, almost) can request this information about me.

My ex-psychiatrist phoned me. He finally told me that he only screened me and didn't fully assess me. I am not happy that I was never told this. Those appointments were a waste of time. I was told nothing that my parents and I do not already know.

I have been told that he doesn't do the full assessment and has no idea who does it.

Can someone tell me where I can out who, where and how I tested and diagnosed in full? I can't find on NAS which states that one of the services listed diagnoses adults (it seems to just be about children) in Plymouth.

I know there's services in Southampton and Cambridge; but was wondering if there's anything closer.

    There should be a student services council (or some similar word) at your uni who will take up your case. There might actually be a medical centre at your uni who you could register with instead of your GP once the student body have been made aware of your problem. It would seem that because of the wording you've used that things are quite serious and so you should also think about making a complaint about how your psychiatrist and GP have messed you about. That avenue might be very exhausting but it sounds like they haven't been fair to you.

    It might be difficult but this forum is very understanding. Do you want to share what the problem at uni is? Don't feel under any pressure but, you never know, someone might be able to offer a clearer solution if they had a clearer idea.

    Good luck!
