Case manager coming out, ( from mood disorders clinic)?
I`m scared as heck..she`s an RN. She`s coming to do a psych assessment.Has anyone had this done? I was referred through my GP? I am bipolar.
apparently, she`s going to do an extensive case history. I`m terrified...
She comes out and does a case history for my GP and then the psychatrist comes out and checks my meds for my GP. I would prefer just one step, rather than three. AND I`m terrified, of the assessment.
I live in Ontario, Canada. There are very few GPs and shrinks to go around, unfortunately.
It`s a month wait to see a GP, and a 6 month waiting to see a shrink. They don`t want to see you in the ER if you are symptomatic, ( psychotic).

A Psych. assessment from and R.N. means nothing. She's not a doctor and your M. D. should not be referring you to some nurse for a diagnosis.

Why are you terrified? And what exactly do you want us to do about it? This is not a sounding board. The people ask their questions and then it fixes you. Go with it.
