Just be honest. It was a daunting process for me to think that I would have to rattle off all my symptoms on command, I was afraid I would forget something, but that wasn't how it was at all. My doc asked a lot of questions and although they allowed for elaboration they gave me a starting point. It might help to make a list of all the symptoms you have or you can remember you have and take it with you.

The first appointment is the hardest, at least for me it was. I had been diagnosed for almost 3 years before I was able to go to a psychiatrist, insurance reasons, so it wasn't the big shock of being diagnosed that was difficult. I think it was having everything dredged up. Then the humiliating thing was that I cried. I blame the fact that I was pregnant for that one.

Anyway, don't be embarrassed, be honest, and try and be through.
