I also have Kaiser and I think it depends on which facility your are going too. It's my understanding that each program is slightly different. My psych eval was a piece of cake. I, too have depression and have been treated off and on for years. I was told that my psychiatrist will have to sign off on the fact that I have been stable on meds for at least 3 months, but every case is different. I did not have to take a written test, which surprised me. Good luck!

I am currently in the program at Kaiser South Sacramento. They have an awesome team and a psych eval is part of the pre-surgery protocol. Because I am being treated for depression I have to be stable for 3 months before they will even schedule surgery. I just went back on meds at the end of June so I am looking at a little delay but not too bad. I should be scheduled at the end of October or early November.
