Psychiatric exam on the 29th.



Recommended Posts

I am nervous about the Psychiatric exam I will be taking on the 29th. I don't know what to expect. Can you please give me an idea what it will be like. Is it hard to pass?

I can tell you what I went through, it wasn't bad at all.

Hi there, I had the psych eval and first meeting with my nutritionist on the same day. Each one took about an hour and I was glad to meet both of these members of the medical team. Psych eval sounds just like the one in the video above -- about 500 questions on graduated scale with an interview afterward to discuss food issues, etc. It was a piece of cake. Well, the only cake I am having for a while.

Wow, I watched the video. My psych eval was nothing like that. I wasn't given a 500 question quiz. I guess things have changed.

My psych eval was an hour and a half discussion about my life, history, day to day activities, expectations after surgery, what I was expecting the surgery to do, how I thought my life would change afterwards.

My psychiatrist had a bypass 8 years before I saw her, so she had personal experience in WLS.

Very interesting video.
