After years of treatment, I am seeing a new psychiatrist and they require an approximate 2 hour evaluation, have any of you gone through this? I'm scared, and don't know what to expect...

no I have not, it's this coming friday... Jack: Thanks for your answers!! I really appreciate it all. Some background, I was diagnosed by a former therapist and then confirmed by my old psychiatrist with panic disorder and depression. I've been on medication for about 2 years I think. I see a counselor, etc. My psychiatrist was changing companies and thus, was getting all new patients. So I was left to find a new one to manage my medication. After seeing my family doctor, and her doubling my antidepressant due to the increase in my depression, she referred me to this new psychiatrist. New to me anyway. And they require a 2 hour evaluation or whatever... However, I have never actually had anything like it done before... so i'm nervous and just want to get it over with.

Hi. Would love to help. Can you give more details? For example, when you say 'years of treatment' - what kind of treatment and what was it for as well as how has it worked? Have you been taking meds? How did you get to the point where you decided to set your appt on Friday (e.g. did someone suggest it)? Some context will help.
