Hi
I am a 19 year old girl who is studying at university. I have tried for over a year now to get a diagnosis. In my local mansfield area I was sent to a general psychatrist who gave me an AQ in the first appointment and on the sending said he couldn't gove a diagnosis but refused to give a reason why. He was incredibly unhelpful for the entire experience. He was contradictory and was more interested about my foster care involvement and when I had seen a routine CAHMS check with social services at 17.
Because I was in care I have no developmental history that is available from my parents as i have no seen them for years and have no contact with. The Psychiatric looked into my medical records and these nothing substantial enough in there. He said he would send a letter to us explaining his reasons but I'm 9weeks this has never come.
i know have a referral with Dr Terry Brugha at leicester and I'm just looking for some reassurance that he will actually listen to me and give me a thorough assessment and listen to me issues.
thanks
