Adult Diagnosis Leicester General

Cornerflag1995

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

  • If only it was as easy to get this opinion medically! I oprivate your advice and opinion it makes me feel like im not just fantasising this - which is how the previous guy I saw made me Think. It is fustrating that I've been through all these services and been missed by everyone.

    I have just got an appointment with the doctor today as rhe prof clinic has a minimum of 6months wait so they advised me to see the GP (who is incredibly supportive) to get bumped up the list. She has me bypassed through general mental health services straight to the professor so hopefull she may be able to help. 

    Ill keep posted as thinggs develop.
