Hello! First time poster here.
My question is about how anyone here went about getting a diagnosis, specifically in the UK.
I have seen a couple of therapists who believe I have all of the signs pointing to OCD, but they are unable to give an official diagnosis. I am currently having CBT through IAPT that is specifically for treating OCD. You might ask why I would want a diagnosis if I’m already getting treatment but it really is all about peace of mind and having that confirmation.
Unfortunately my GP isn’t the easiest to get ahold of, especially now, so I just wanted to ask for future reference how you went about getting a diagnosis? And what was the process like? (time-wise, emotionally etc.)
