I've been referred to a psychiatrist

by my GP. I got a letter today confirming my first appointment in which they said it will "be an assessment of my needs" and last for approximately 90 minutes.

I understand that this is probably a positive step rather than a negative one but as somebody who fears the development of severe mental illnesses, I'm naturally worried that it won't just be anxiety.

How was your first psychiatric appointment?

I was referred by GP - not to a psychiatrist (I wish I had been because I'd love the opportunity for a psychiatric assessment!) :) but to the usual CBT and EMDR therapy.

It was so positive and very 'practical' - i.e 'let's see what's up and how we can fix it!' :)))

This is great news for you!
