Thanks. They have a system of first letting a patient get different kinds of short-term interventions like short-term therapy. Then a patient has to go through several of those steps for the facility to ensure that they have done what they can for this actual patient.
By that it takes many months and years to even get an evaluation for psychotherapy and that evaluation is done by a nurse or similar together with a doctor. They meet with the board of the psychotherapy unit.
I donīt know the specific criteria, a lot has to do with a lot of people waiting to get access to psychotherapy and what also matters is how severe they think your symptoms are.

I hope you are doing ok  |
