Where do I get a diagnosis?

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.

  • It all sounds very difficult for you...it doesn't sound like your so called 'support' from the 'health professionals' is any good at all. 

    Have you tried your nearest NAS service? they might be able to help you...I got in touch with mine and I'm meeting someone from there on Saturday to see if they can support me, with diagnosis and general support in day to day things.  If you look under 'our services' it might come up with something in your area - you've probably already tried that - or ring the NAS helpline to ask for their advice.
