What is this second assessment for?

stranger

I had my first assessment on Thursday and it was awful. 

The psychiatrist wants to see me again and has asked that I bring a parent with me. Now, I understand why he wants me to do this; but what is this second assessment about? Is it just gathering more information (I remember very little of my childhood due to a head injury) or would he try to diagnose me then?

Parents

  • Parents are usually asked to get more info on the childhood..: Where there signs than, eventhough overlooked then.. What were those signs? (and also looking at how the interaction is.. and if there are any signs in the parent(s), those could be observed..

    btw: There is nothing wrong with calling you shrink and just ask ;-) That would be the best answer to your question..

    I think it's wise to see an Occupational Therapist.. Why? the real issue, in my eyes, are the underlying sensory issues.. an OT can assess those and help you balance the senses better, so you can function more optimally.

    Love, B'fly
