Should I consider a private assessment !

[pastapesto]

I recently had an assessment with psychology as I am struggling with emotional disregulation - highs and lows. It’s increasingly difficult to function.

They think I’d benefit from EMdR but also want to screen for ADHD and the waiting list is a couple of years.

The thought of being in limbo like this for two years doesn’t sound fun. I don’t want to go for a straight ADHD assessment incase it’s something else. I wondered if I should try and get some kind of general private assessment so I at least know what I am dealing with.

If you are able and have the means, then why not?

I don’t know! I feel weird about it for some reason.

The waiting lists are incredibly long, I've been waiting for my son to have a basic assessment for way over a year, we've finally got the first appointment through, a few weeks from now. If you can, it might just put your mind at ease.
