I had my psychological evaluation today, well the second part, which was all true and false--567 questions!

A friend from work read the test to me, and it took the better part of three hours. I talked to the psychiatrist last Monday, and he was very nice. He seemed impressed with me, though I have to wonder how much of that was because I was blind. People sometimes think that what a sighted person would be expected to do is admirable in someone who is blind. Anyway, I’m glad I read a lot on this board about the evaluation, because I was aware that many of the questions were phrased in such a way as to make one think they should have different answers, but they were the same as some I had already given. And nothing about losing weight. Guess they just want to see if I’m really crazy!

Now all I have to do is keep my fingers crossed to see what my service provider says. If anyone reads this, please wish me luck!

Hey, I think it is just the Shrink part of the Psyc Consult that scares the "crap" out of all of us. I am not looking forward to mine. I already got the book they sent me to fill out. Good Grief, why do they want to know all this stuff. Will I be excluded if I say, Yes Dr after my divorce from a marriage of 22 years I was treated for depression. Do you think he will realize I was depressed because I had been married for 22 years to a jerk!

Anyway - relax and do the best you can. They have us coming and going anyway.

Debbie, I was a little nervous about the psych eval, but it wasn’t bad. There were some rather strange questions,--well strange to me, though I suppose some people might have answered yes to them. There was nothing related to weight, but there were questions about childhood. The one I remember was--and I should say that they weren’t actually questions, but true and false--My Mother and later father, was a very good man/woman. And then later still, I loved my father/mother. I’m not sure I understand the purpose of the psych eval, even though the doctor explained it. Old age, I guess. Hahahaha!
