Seeking Comprehensive Psychological Evaluation
I am considering whether to see a psychiatrist or a psychologist for a comprehensive evaluation. There may be more going on than just anxiety and depression. Could there be ADHD or autism, both of which I've managed to mask since childhood? Now that my health is affecting me, it's becoming harder to hide these issues. What would a thorough assessment entail?

So, my shrink suggested I get a neuropsych eval to really nail down what's going on because, honestly, symptoms can overlap and everything-like, one thing might look liek another from the outside. I mean, seriously, why don't they do that in the first place before throwing meds at you? Anyway, it's totally worth doing-it would've been great if I had done this a decade ago. But now, ugh, waiting on that waitlist for months and months-like, 8-plus months. Hope it all works out for whoeer's going through it too! <3
You're welcome, for real-thanks a bunch!
