1st appointment with psychiatrist - what to expect?

Re: 1st appointment with psychiatrist - what to expect?

Sorry @outlander it's 8.30 my time tomorrow morning. I will tell him all of this. Better write another list. How have you been? I better catch up on your posts

Re: 1st appointment with psychiatrist - what to expect?

So 10 30 my time @Former-Member not a problem ill be here for you holding and squeezing your hand 💓💓💓
Yes writing a list is very good! I do it all the time and they are so use to it so go for it! Write all of everything you want or need to say down

You dont have to catch up on my posts if you dont want to. Make sure you take care of you first ok my little pancake friend ❣💓💓

Re: 1st appointment with psychiatrist - what to expect?

Great advice @outlander. Yes @Former-Member write it down. Explain it exactly how you have explained it here. Then he will have a clearer idea of what is going on for you and how you really need this break in hospital.
Why not look at your private health insurance policy or call their hotline number tonight. Or look on their website for some answers. Then tmw you will have a better idea of the questions you need answered.
Will be thinking of you tomorrow morning. Please let us know how you get on.

Thanks @outlander and @utopia I did look at my private health cover, it will cover some but not all of the costs. But I can't find any information for the mental health centres regarding what the actual cost is. I have some money in the bank that I can use if I have to. I guess my psych will have an idea about that when I see him tomorrow. List is written @outlander xx

Hello @Former-Member

The administrator at the facility you are booking into will be able to discuss that with you, if you give her  or him the information provided to you by your health fund.

Re: 1st appointment with psychiatrist - what to expect?

@outlander for some reason all your pics just come up as yellow triangles for the first hour or so and then they appear!

Re: 1st appointment with psychiatrist - what to expect?

Yeah they have to be modded first @Former-Member they should appear soon

How are you going?
