usually post on the sertraline thread & also have another one about panic attacks and voices in my head but wanted to get some advise about psychiatrist appt's. I've got my first one tomorrow & am feeling a bit scarred.
a bit of I've had a major mental breakdown 2 weeks ago & have been monitored by crisis team ever since. I'm on 150mg venaflaxin & 300mg quetiapine. have self harmed twice so far the most recent being y'day. have not mentioned it to crisis team yet will be doing that at the appt tomorrow.
guess what I'm asking is what should I be expecting? I know there will be an assessment of some sort. bearing in mind I self harmed yday can the psychiatrist tell me to be admitted. I really don't like hospitals & would rather just stay under the home treatment team.
sorry for long post... any experience or advice would be great.
