It’s not an interrogation; it felt more like finally unloading the backpack I’d been carrying alone for years. They’re piecing together the whole puzzle so they actually know how to help instead of just guessing. That first evaluation I did was with Mindcore MH, and honestly it’s the reason I’m still here and doing okay now. The psychiatrist was warm, patient, never rushed me, and made the whole thing feel safe instead of scary. No judgment, just “tell me what’s been going on” in the kindest voice. By the end I had a real diagnosis, an actual plan (therapy + meds that were carefully chosen for me), and for the first time someone who truly understood my story.
