Hi Ruban
Welcome to NeuroTalk . I can relate to much of what you have written though I am male. I am in remission from Major Depressive Disorder and Generalised Anxiety Disorder as well as (maybe) being somewhere on the Autism Spectrum Disorder range and (from psychometric testing), very smart. Can you find a psychologist with relevant training and experience to work with you on the issues which are concerning you? Because you are an adult you can instruct a psychologist not to discuss anything about you with your parents without your explicit consent. Disregarding your instructions would be a very serious breach of medical ethics - a psychologist who did this would probably be in legal trouble. Best wishes.

Hi Kiwi! Thanks. In real, my psychologist is a doctor suggested by the University (they sent an email asking if anyone would be interested, this happened after a student had some problems).
My psychologist liked to ask about my week, and when I told her about something that bothered me, she asked why. I think the biggest reason for some bugs is that I do not know the response. And I believe that not knowing is my biggest inconvenience. For example, I love watching shows and movies. Sometimes things happen that annoy me at the level that I can not keep watching, but I know it's part of the drama. How do I ask for a psychiatric analysis for me? Where I live, it's usually the family who asks the doctor. My psychology was usually heard me, and it made me nervous, as I began to wonder what she was thinking about what I was talking about. Is there some kind of psychologist who simulates a conversation? Because I know how to deal with conversations. Quote:

Hi Ruban
The way that things work may be different where you live compared to here. Here the standard way of getting to see a psychiatrist is to ask your GP for a referral. This often involves your GP drawing up what is officially called a Mental Health Care Plan with you. Any adult can do this and it is illegal (because of patient confidentiality) for a GP to tell any family members about this. A GP can also refer you to a psychologist. Finding a psychologist with whom you have rapport is not always easy (my partner has worked as a psychologist). If you don't feel comfortable with the one who you got through your University you could talk to her directly (in detail) about this. If she is any good she will listen to you and change her approach accordingly.
