I'm so nervous about my psych eval idk what to expect all I know it they told me it can take 2-3hours

[Miss Mac 6,261]

Mine took 30 minutes with a personal interview. She was asking questions that would help her determine why I wanted the surgery and was I prepared to do what it would take to be successful We talked about eating disorders with the caution to not replace food disorders with a new addiction such as drinking or smoking. Totally painless procedure for me. I worried for nothing.

Don't be! They told me the same thing 2-3hrs. I was in and out in 40min and that was because I had to wait.

Easy as pie! Don't stress!

Mine really was 4 hours. Talking to the shrink at the end took about 20 minutes. The longest portion of the visit for me was a list of 800+ questions on a multiple choice test booklet. Felt like the SAT test from high school (length of test not type of questions)!

But nothing stressful. Was the psych office's way of making sure I knew what to expect and could and would comply with lifestyle changes needed to make the tool work the best.

Mine didn't involve any written tests, just a casual conversation that took about 20 minutes. I was apprehensive too going in, as I didn't know what to expect, but it turned out to be the easiest requirement of all. Just relax and be yourself and you'll be fine.

I looked up what the tests are that they had me take. Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory–2 and the Millon Behavioral Medicine Diagnostic test. And answers filled out on one of those scantron sheets from school days.

Every office does their own thing. I know a lady who took only an online questionnaire and that was enough to satisfy the insurance and surgeon's office.

I would have preferred to do just the last 20 minutes face to face!

I was scared and nervous also. Took a hour with the dr and they usually book 2-3 hours for testing. The test isn't nearly as bad as I had it being in my mind lol

I had to do the same test. It wasn't terrible, some of the questions were really funny.
