Hello I hope things are going well with you today. The intake is just basically information gathering and then you will be scheduled an appointment with a therapist and Dr.
The information you supply is very important in determining which thereapist you should see that will help you in recovery the best, truth is the best policy so that you can get a therapist that will make the most difference in your life, and your mental health. Try not ot be nervous and try to be prepared with any information pertaining to your mental health and your family history if you know the family history.
When I go with friends to intakes I just take a water and usually there are magazines or TV to take your mind off of the wait. The main thing is not to go too early for the appointment, they are usually scheduled in a timely manner going more than 15 minutes early is not generally necessary. ( unless you were told differently). Take care and try to relax. Soidhonia
