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

    It's a service of NTs for NTs, when they bump into one of us, and they must do more frequently than they realise, they have no clue what to do and end up blaming us when we can't fit the NT boxes. 

    The mental Health Services need massively re-education and fast
