Psychologist questions

[1ZlowZ]

I have a couple questions, I haven't been able to find answers on google but, if I go to a psychologist on the first visit will he give me a note and tell me whats wrong with me or do I have to go multiple times? If I do have to go more than one time can anyone give me a number of a real psychologist or a doctor or somebody that will write me a note on first visit, or just a note without having to talk to me or anything. Needs to be a legit doctor incase they decide to call he will confirm that I've visited.

[!Zar!]

What are you trying to do, pull a scam?

You just aren't diagnosed.

You have multiple checkups.

So what's wrong with you crazy?

[1ZlowZ]

Its to help my dad with his immigration things, my mom, teachers, family have said they noticed a lot of change in my behavior, grades and stuff on me since my dad was sent to Mexico, now he's going to get a Visa, since his residency thing was canceled or something. My parents say I'm not as social, I don't want to go to school since I'm homeschooled, I get angry real quick. Not as physicial anymore blah blah blah, I have a heart murmur but I can't get a note saying that its bad and getting worse since it got better from when I turned 15 to now. Help? =]

[1ZlowZ]

Also, the note needs to be done by November which is when his next visit to the Visa thing is which why I can't do multiple check ups since we also need to visit my grandparents they're not doing so well...

[SlideWell]

are you in legal trouble? this is what it sounds like to me. with any psycho visits...youre merely evaluated for for a first visit. ive seen many therapists throughout my childhood. nothing is solved on the first meet. what are you getting at really. what are you trying to accomplish?

You have the entire month of October and a few days left in this month. I think that's plenty of time for you to have a proper evaluation.

Smoke a J, put your penis in a beezy, and grow up.

You're a teenager... Aren't we supposed to have weird attitude changes?

[C. Senor]

i think i was diagnosed on the 2nd visit. but i kinda already knew what i had. (trichotillomania w/ compulsion.) so i told him what i thought i had, and after askin all those questions and observing me, he made his decision.

you should go any way. you never know. sometimes going to them, really helps you out.

[Matej]

You don't need medical terms to know what's wrong with you. It's all just a big business, in the end you'll still have to deal with your problems yourself.

You're missing the point. I don't know how it all works, but I believe he's trying to get a doctor to verify that the fact that he dad was sent back to Mexico, it is effecting him in a negative way therefore a judge or whoever would be more inclined to grant his dad whatever he needs to come back.

I sorta did the same thing, I exaggerated a situation to get out of a lease and I got out of paying $850 for breaking it.

[ESmorz]

Eh I didn't care to read his reasoning.

Now I care even less.

The way I see it is this is no different than someone asking for a smog job on the boards.

Just like if anybody did know of a Psychologist who would rush you through or not properly evaluate you for your own personal gain I don't think anyone would want to out there Pyschologist as someone who would do it anyways. It seems like it runs the lines of being illegal or at least fraud and should be treated in the same manner.

[cc4usmc]

^^ As far as I know, he's not trying to fuck the system and he's only trying to rush it because he has a certain amount of time that he needs to be evaluated by, and he just wants it to be done with as soon as possible. If everyone has noticed a change in him like he said, and can substantiate it, then it wouldn't really be illegal. Now if he was faking it, that would be different. The OP needs to explain how exactly him being diagnosed with something will help anything.

Exactly. I think almost everyone goes through periods where they act different, do things they usually wouldn't, eat more or eat less blah blah. Especially if you have extenuating emotional stress.

Is it because of an underlying condition? Probably not. Who the hell wouldn't be distressed if their dad got deported?

What exactly do you have to prove?

I don't think a lot of people can relate to his situation, therefore you can't try and compare person A who's stressed because gas went up, and person B who's stressed because their dad was deported.

Reason we need this is to show that my mom my little sister and I need our dad. My dad left 3 years ago, about 2 1/2 years ago my lil sis started waking up crying asking for my dad and stuff, asking why she doesn't have a dad and many other kids do. I don't thin I should list all the problems we've gone through since my dad left since these are just the tiny ones.

[cc4usmc]

What exactly would it prove? There has to be some sort of technical name for it.. I have an example only I can't think of it lol. Fuck.

[C. Senor]

aside from the other two bickering. i would say find a psych near you and set up multiple a week visits, to speed up the process of a diagnosis. i just hope you have medical insurance because without it, it will be expensive.

[1ZlowZ]

Something like we aren't a good family without my dad which is true, we couldn't make the house payments without my dad which is true, its not really to prove anything since the person that interviews my dad reads why we need him and stuff, if he thinks its bad enough to go back he'll give him the Visa if not my dad won't be able to apply for Visa for another 10 years then everything my parents worked for, their business the house which was foreclosed was for nothing. Just me my sister and my brother is all they'll have left of the 20+ years they've been living and working here.

[ESmorz]

^Medical insurance would be very beneficial.

You will have to do multiple visits. No one who respects their license would do it over the phone. Call around some offices. See whats up.

[C. Senor]

idea flashed. if you have medical insurance and you see a specific doctor. you can ask them if they have a psych dept. i went through my doctor, luckily the hospital i go to has a psych office. super easy. check things out. hope everything works out some how.

[1ZlowZ]

I'll try and talk to some psychologist tomorrow morning and see if they can do a one time thing since my mom already knows whats wrong with me. I have no any kind of insurance so I guess it will be pricey. I'll let you guys know what happens.

[TheWolf]

try and kill yourself... thoughts of suicide... and like formulating a plan on how to kill yourself or even your whole family.. that'll get you into the "depressed"column fast. infact look up one of the popular drugs. Zoloft comes to mind. Find who makes it and they'll usually have a "test" online... It's usually 10 questions that you rate yourself 1-5.. 1 is not feeling it... 5 is feelin it hard core... try and get a 35 total score.. if you bust into the 40's you may get psyc ward.. If you really feel this way then get help.. if you just want to get into the country then try whatever.. remember every lie can blow up in your face hard core..

[renegade_ewok]

Going to a shrink to be "diagnosed" really doesn't work that way. What if the shrink finds out that you are normal? What then? A psychologist isn't going to throw out a bullshit diagnosis because they have to back it... and they aren't going to do it quickly either.

[ryguy]

Are you saying your dad was deported or just left your family on his own?

If he was deported, hell, we have cooks at work that are deported all the time. The last one was back to work in 6 days, its not hard to get back into the country.

If he left and you are trying to convince him to come back, I wouldn't count on that either. My best friend's dad left the family and it really genuinely fucked him up, he was going to the psych twice a week, on all kinds of meds, but it didnt do a thing to bring his dad back.

[jskateborders]

What your looking for is illegal, and could cause one to lose his licensee.

[1ZlowZ]

My dad left voluntarily meaning the immigration people said you have 60 days to leave to country or in the 60 days we will go raid all you properties until we properly deport you and 30 days in jail. Ofcourse he left voluntarily, he wants to come back legal, he's never been illegal in the US. Everything that my family says is wrong with me is true. We're not lying about anything.

[renegade_ewok]

Are your parent psychologists? No? Then they can't make a diagnosis, they have no knowledge in that field. Say they have knowledge all you want, psychology is deeper than you think, trust me, I know.

What does you dad being deported and you having issues have to do with each other?

If you are going to a shrink to find out whats wrong with you, your under false assumptions. You go to correct whats wrong with you. They aren't going to tell you whats wrong with you on the first visit. Don't like it? Tough, they have the Ph.D and you don't and how else are they going to make money?
