In a couple of months I am being assessed by a psychiatrist and I keep wondering what kind of question the Dr is going to ask during the assessment. I was hoping any other people who were assessed as adults could share what their Drs discussed with them?

I have researched the DSM-5 symptoms and taken many quizzes and done a lot of research, discussed with my GP and I understand the the psych may want some corroboration of my symptoms in the form of schools records or accounts from a spouse or family member. I no longer have any school records (I’m almost 40!) and neither my husband nor my mother agree that any of my symptoms are anything more than my anxiety disorder (or in my mother’s words “you just did what you wanted when you wanted”), so I’m not sure how they would be much help.

Any insight anyone could provide would be much appreciated!
