Hello I hope you are feeling a little less anxious at this time. An intake just entails you giving information to an intake person, about yourself and your mental health issues. Be honest and direct and truthful which is the main importance. The intake person will them direct your information to the right person to deal with your case. Writing down certain information and details sometimes helps, if you are forgetful at times. Try to relax and be ready to answer numerous questions, when I go to an intake with someone I try to take a pop or water, it takes a while to do an intake. Taking a snack may be in order as well if you take medication and need to eat something while at the intake. Let us know how things go later today. I am going to leave you a hotline number to call in case you need to call and talk to someone in person 1-800-273-TALK. Take care Sincerely Soidhonia
