Eureka-C 20 Posted October 20, 2011 Remember to focus on how insightful you are to your own mental health and how well you are managing your own mental health issues. Talk about your great support systems and how you have already discussed with your psychiatrist/doctor about managing your meds closely after surgery. BEst of luck to you.

emily_0192010 168 Posted October 20, 2011 Those should not prevent you from passing. I believe the goal of the psych eval is to make sure you understand the permanence of the procedure, your support system and to make sure you are doing the surgery for the right reasons. I know quite a few people who have moderate or severe depression and they were approved. Most of them go to regular therapy, their personal choice, just to help them along. My mom is bi-polar and she had no problem with the psych eval. Good luck! You'll do fine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
