You've made it as far as the assessment meeting. Get the most out of the diagnostic process by following these tips for an accurate diagnosis.


1. Be truthful

Don’t try to cover up or minimize your symptoms.

2. Express your concerns

If you have an concerns about the diagnostic process, your health, or any other relevant issue, let the staff know as soon as possible. Being distracted with concerns can affect the accuracy and completeness of the information you provide, which can affect your eventual diagnosis.

3. Request assistance

If you have problems with reading or understanding forms or questionnaires, ask for help.

4. Accept your own feelings

Expect to experience emotions as you go over your history and symptoms, and let the clinician know if you feel upset.

5. Cooperate with the staff

Be patient and cooperate with the clinic’s process. There is usually a way you can give feedback if there are things you are not happy with, but deal with this afterwards rather than during your assessment.
