It all makes sense.

Hi everyone, and especially newly diagnosed people.

I had an assessment via my university, waiting for the report and wandering what it will say about me.

Got an appointment with my GP next week and I am going to ask for a full assessment.

He'll probably say no and try to get me to go private. The cost of assessment is crazy and it needs to be NICE

compliant so wow its not easy out here ....

  • To add to what has already been said, I was on the NHS list for years before I went through the right to choose. I visited the GP who provided a list of providers and approximate waiting times. I went through Skylight psychiatry and it was a bit of a hybrid assessment, I had online questionnaires, then a facetime consultation and finally the full assessment face to face. It took about two months from the initial referral to receiving my diagnostic report.

    It was very easy and relaxed from my perspective. As long as you are in England you shouldn't have any issues accessing it, it's not available within the other nations of the UK.

    Good luck and take care.
