Mum has finally got her assessment by the psychiatrist I got a phone call today and it is taking place tomorrow. morning. I feel relieved but scared at the same time. Can anyone tell me what actually happens at this stage and what to expect. should my brother and I be there with her.
I am frightened because mum is in such denial I am worried that she will not comply or even communicate with the psychiatrist at all. Some of this is probably due to the illness itself, but mum can be so bloody minded when she wants to be. Still, I suppose they will have seen it all before.
When we had the 5 week assessment from social services for the intermediary care, she walked out because she thought we were all plotting to get her put in a home, and she thought they had "come for her".
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks.
