Re: NHS referred to psychiatrist.. few questions
Hi
I was referred to a psych for anxiety and depression about ten months ago.
The first person I saw was a trainee doctor,which I think is pretty much the norm.
I had a lengthy discussion with her,during which she asked me lots of questions and made lots of notes.
She then left the room for a while to discuss her findings with the Psyche,who then came back into the room with her,and introduced himself,asked a few more questions,and appeared to be getting an overview of me.
He then told me what meds I would be going on,and when they would next see me.
He was a really nice chap,and the overall experience was a positive one.
I didn't feel rushed,ànd was reassured that I would get well again.
