Newbie waiting on mental health appts!

[Judy A Travis 2]

I have all my requirements done but mental health! Drs. office forgot to send paperwork to them so still waiting for appts! I have heard a lot of different stories about the evaluation and was wondering what it consisted of. I have no mental health issues so I hope I do fine!

Mine was pretty simple. She just asked me some questions, then I had to do a MMPI test, which is 567 true false questions. Took me about 45 minutes to take. I passed with flying colors!

Thank you! I have heard that where I live we have to make 3 visits to MH! I am going to call them today to see if they got my paperwork straightened out! I am going to ask them then what their requirements are. Quite a process but will be well worth it!

Mine was simple too, large questioner and a 45 min meeting with the Shrink, and I was done, very simple.

I never had a questionnaire.. just a talk with a lady for about a half hour. She was very nice and made sure I was doing it for the right reasons and wanted basic background information.

Good luck!

I talked with the woman at MH and I have to go three times >1st > evaluation>2nd two hour true or false test> 3rd> get results!

Wow

I went twice. Once to fill out the questionnaire and second time for results and talk about it. Personally thought it was a waste of money and time... but thru the hoops we jump!!

I also have 3 my appts. The first one is an interview, second is a test, and the third Is to go over the results. I have the third appt. next week.

what kind of questions do they ask that they can ask so many?

[Sparklette 381]

Mine was 165 questions, all true/false. I'm the only person I know who didn't pass the first time. At the time I had untreated anxiety and depression issues. Just go in with a positive attitude and you'll be fine.

[Judy A Travis 2]

I hope you are doing fine now! I was just wondering what the questions were about !

[Sparklette 381]

Behavioral questions "do you snacj when stressed"

Emotional questions "do you feel sad/alone/lost"

Social questions "do you feel that you have people to rely on"

Variations of these questions

[Judy A Travis 2]

Thank you for answering my question! I was worried it would be hard to answer but it sounds like it will be fine!

Took my 565 question t or f test and go this Thursday for the results of that! Then just have to wait for surgeon to contact me with appt. Does anyone know if they usually schedule surgery date before insurance is approved? I have heard a few on here say they had date before approval! Was just wondering, getting anxious to get this done!
