Hi everyone,
I am curious if others have had this assessment before.
Both my psychologist and g.p are reccomending I have it done, i believe it is to work out if I have any under lying personality issues that might help my treatment.
Anyone with knowledge about it?
thanks

Good on you @kato
Sounds like you're putting in a lot of hard work to look after yourself.

Maybe @kato think of it as a sideways step, instead of a backwards step.
Recovery does involve lapses, i think its realistic to understand this.
It's how you manage that that's the trick, managing the self talk.

hey @kato gee you are really kicking some serious goals..how fantastic that you said No even though it felt strange to do so! As you get used to saying No it becomes easier to do.
I have been a bit busy of late but I just wanted to say how thoughtful your posts are and supportive of other people all over the Forum..
You know, changing ways is a really tough road but so worth it as it allows for real progress in other areas of your life!
So glad you are working with a psychologist and that you are even open to seeing the psychiatrist..Awesome!
With regard to this neorological psychological assessment, I haven't doen one but if its purpose is to improve your recoevery journey by finding out interesting things about you, then why not? Maybe it is also to ensure there's nothing else going on that needs some attention, our brains are amazing organs..
Take care and keep on posting!!
I am getting busy at work and family commitments so am stepping back from the forums over the next few weeks, but I plan to get on at least once a week!!
