Oh, I fully believe it - and I don’t think they should bin off people already on the waiting lists. My objection is towards the NHS paying a few grand to a private company for each assessment, even if it’s shit, as opposed to being properly funded to do it themselves. You have my sympathies.
Oh I think you misunderstood. I meant the bit about the crappy diagnoses, I have enough imposter syndrome as it is.
For sure. I would have preferred an NHS face to face one, but they were making me jump through so many hoops (in the end I had to submit a 5 page report on why I think I’m autistic) that my GP said just go for right to choose.
So I’m glad I have the option, but I would also prefer more investment in NHS AND better training, because my own experiences with NHS mental health are pretty bad (see my above reply).
