Just wondering if there’s anyone about who works in a GP surgery who might be able to interpret something for me?
I have been referred for an ADHD assessment and was required to get a Summary Care Record from my GP which I have done.
Under the heading ‘Active Problems’ is a table with three columns. In the first column it says ‘Lower Risk Drinking’ In the second column it says ‘Major Episode’, and in the third column it says ‘April 2023- Ongoing’
I don’t know what any of this means! I don’t have a drinking problem and have never reported one to my Dr. I drink infrequently and lightly- probably averages out to 0-2 units a week. I typically go for a couple of months without drinking and just occasionally drink at special occasions or on holiday.
I’m most likely overthinking this, and of course I can go to the GP surgery tomorrow to ask the receptionist, but I am likely to spend the evening worrying about it now until I can speak to someone about it.
So in the meantime, if anyone here knows what it means, I’d love to know!
