Has anyone been through a simular experience and would like to share it with me.. 10years ago I was diagnosed with OCD 5 years ago I was diagnosed with EUPD, PTSD, drug and alcohol induced psychosis and Mixed anxiety and depression disorder. I am in recovery from alcohol and drugs for nearly 5 years and I haven't had any mental health support for 2 years I've just been fighting through it but things are getting really hard again and today I went for a mental health assessment. I feel like I'm going round in circle with medication and I don't want it put up, I've asked for therapy.. Something that's on my mind since the appointment is she mentioned I could have Adhd and Asd, so I told her I've been waiting for an assessment for 3years.. She's going to email them to see if she can push it quicker.

Thankyou for your reply. You are right No therapists can't. I am being referred to a psychiatrist and psychologist too. My psychiatrist 3 years ago said about asd and adhd he referred me for the assessment.. I have heard the wait can be upto 5years. I'm just getting frustrated with the waiting and the not knowing I guess. I feel once I know I can get the right support. With The therapist I would like to do trauma work as have experienced a lot of trauma through my life so far. Xx

Therapist may not be able to diagnose things especially ASD. If you are an adult it will be difficult to get the diagnosis because a lot of professionals won't diagnose an adult. I know I had to go to a psychiatrist and fight for months to get referred to a behavioral doctor who diagnosed me. When it comes to a therapist I know PsychologyToday.com can help find one. Sometimes you have to call and check on the status of your application because files do get lost.
