ima ~ I see a lot of good info above. But to answer your question, experienced pdoc/MH professionals are better than you would think in getting an accurate assessment of someone during one session. This doesn't mean that they understand you, just that what you report is either false or helpful in guiding them through the diagnostic manual. They have to do one-time assessments so frequently, that they get very skilled at it. You would be surprised. I agree with not dressing up and stressing your symptoms as much as you can, but also agree with reporting essentially the same symptoms as on your previous application. Thanks for the question and information provided above!
