Can I ask for a full psychological eval and not just talk for 10 minutes and get a label?

Do I ask Psychiatrist or psychologist for a more in depth eval? wonder if it more than just anxiety and depression. ADHD and or autism well trained and masked from childhood and now as I struggle with health if I have having trouble masking and holding it in. What might a more in-depth eval look like?

Just ask for evaluation and don’t be afraid as it will only help you to understand yourself better

My psychologist recommended me to get a neuropsychological evaluation for a clearer understanding. ((Because symptoms can overlap and be comorbid))

I wish they always did a full evaluation before trying medication roulette. !!!!

Def worth it…I wish i did 10 years ago. Rn waiting on long waitlist (8+ months) good luck <3
