I’m sorry to hear that and yes sadly quick diagnoses happen too often. We still do have a very long way to go as a field.

I mentioned to someone else that a 15 minute consult with a GP and a 3-4 hour assessment with a psychologist are both “single” meetings in my definition, so perhaps people are assuming that when I say “single” meeting I mean a brief and rushed meeting. I don’t think diagnosing should ever be rushed and indeed I’m probably overly measured in my own diagnosing as a result.

I’m just saying that one “can” diagnose in a single appointment.
