Passed my psych eval

[goaldigger33 39]

I'm so pumped I found out I passed my psych eval today! I know I'm not a crazy person (most of the time) but I had no idea what to expect. Given my history with anxiety and depression I was a little worried at first. The behavioral therapist was very nice and we talked about my history with food etc. There were almost 200 questions on the actual test which I took online later at home.

Next stop is submitting to insurance and then my EGD in two weeks! Hoping to get this done before the end of the year so I can start 2017 with a new outlook on life

What kind of questions did they ask? How was the appointment over all?

The appointment was really straight forward honestly. She mainly asked about my weight loss history, what diets I've tried, any current medical conditions, any mental health issues, any addictions to drugs or alcohol etc. I do have anxiety and depression and she said that was okay. Her advice was to make sure whatever I said during the meeting that I also put that on the test.

The test was kind of like a personality test but you could easily identify the questions that would throw up red flags, like anything to do with suicide for example. I was worried about it but passed with flying colors. Just be honest and consistent and you'll be fine!
