Psyc eval questions



Recommended Posts

Interesting question. Some people on here went through quite a rigorous questionnaire to screen for mental disorders while others had a pretty basic interview/discussion session. Mine was pretty easy. They asked the following stuff:

History of mental disorders

Medication

Stability of my mental disorders

My psychiastrist name

If I am in therapy and how often do I go the therapists name

Have I ever missed work from depression

Suicide history

Family history

Family weight history

What I know about the surgery

How I felt about the extra skin after weight loss

What my support system was like

My eating habits

That's all I can think of for now. But my psychologist told me right then, before I left, that I was a could candidate and would be writing a recommendation.

I hope this helps.

I had to take a 200 question Personality Inventory before the visit. She checked and made sure i'm not that crazy. Asked a lot of the same things the above poster said. She tries to gauge how psychologically ready for the surgery and life change you are.

200 repetitive questions to see if you're depressed or crazy before you sit with the psychologist for about an hour.

Mines was the same as 1SuperBonBon. I also had to take 2 online questionnaires. One was 165 questions and the other was 368 questions. They asked questions about do I see things or hear things. The questions were interesting. I must say. lol I was nervous, but the psychologist made me feel at ease. I wish you all the best.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
