I have been suffering from severe depression and my GP has refered me to the community mental health team. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist on Tuesday.

What can I expect in this appointment? If someone else who has been through a similar process could comment I would appreciate it.

    Hello Knowle, I saw a Psych at my local health clinic in 2010 but ened up seeing one privately who was really good so if you don't get on with your first one consider seeing one privately, it doesn't cost the earth, it was well worth it for me. If you're in Essex I could recommend one. Good luck Knowle. Keni
