Mental Evaluation

Hi Peoples! Has anyone been to the Athena Consultant for their mental evaluation?? If so what was it like?? It's located in Nashville. Thanks Y'all Missy Lea

That's where I went. They have some very nice people there. They do the MMPI assessment as well as a consult, so be prepared to spend an hour or more there. They also send the report directly to your doctor if you ask them to and I believe you can request that they also send you a copy. The reason I chose them is that my insurance at the time paid for them, surprisingly. Good luck and just be honest -- remember, this part of the process is to HELP you, not hinder you. The main things they are looking for are: stability -- if you are mentally ill, are you getting help? Intelligence -- you don't have to be Einstein, but can you understand what is going to happen to you? Eating disorders -- if you have had them in the past, it makes you a higher risk patient, but if you have sought help and/or are seeking help currently for them, that is good. Take a deep breath and remember this is a good thing!

Thanks Joanna for the info Missy Lea..
