Psych Eval Question II

[Sheila 0]

Hi Everybody,

When I was looking for a doctor to do my psych eval, one of them told me it would only take half an hour to an hour. In reading posts on different forums it sounds like 2-3 hours is more realistic. Anyone know what the difference is and does it really matter in the long run? I know there is a personality test that some docs require, but is it necessary?

Hi Sheila,

Everyone's experience is different. I didn't have to do a personality test, but the therapist was charging for a double session and while it probably wasn't "necessary" for her to reach her conclusion we spent the whole 2 hours talking.

Don't worry--it's painless if you're honest. And it can be kind of enlightening!
