I´ve been searching for a T for a long time and ended up within psychiatry. Perhaps that´s not the same in every country but with psychiatry I mean where you can get therapy but also get diagnosed with psychiatric conditions like autism.

So far I have gotten much worse from going through a lot of evaluations, seeing different doctors, therapists and so on just to find a diagnosis. That is, you can´t just go straight into therapy seeing a T. I´ve been met with condescending staff, staff who don´t listen but just talk about financials and waiting cues. People who talk badly about certain kind of therapies.

I would like to share such experiences with you here at PC who see a T within psychiatry or who seek care within psychiatry to get a specific diagnosis.

1. What kind of care do you get, therapy or other?

2. For how long did you have to wait before you got a proper treatment or got to see a T?

3. Did they demand you to get a diagnosis before you could see a T?

4. Are you being well treated? If not, why?
