Mental Health Assessment

JasperElyan

Hello, I'm new here. I have just started the (long) process of getting diagnosed, but before my GP refers me to be assessed for autism she wants me to do a mental health assessment. The appointment is tomorrow and I'm a little nervous. I'm not sure what's going to be talked about or anything, so if anyone here has been through a similar thing I would really appreciate if you could explain to me what happens during the appointment. Thanks!

  • after hearing/seeing/reading way to many times mental health saying nothing more than this, this, oh and that too is wrong with you,

    nothing about: ok, than what do you want me to do about it, reminding me about it only makes my depression worse.

    I never found any of those Mental Health Services / Wellbeing sites/people helpful and I had to come up; with my own solution.

    there is nothing wrong with someone depressed,

    it means that person is a very sensitive person and absorbed to much evil from others and suffers now

    very much like what you get on a report from assessment

    what I think about them now sounds very much like

    give me a break,

    how am I to respect you if you do not respect me, and see everything wrong in me

    even if I did start to respect you you wouldn't notice it because you can see me only as broken

    so again, what do you want from me? I don't want to hear more of your perspective
