@wilcy An evaluation by a psychiatrist was required for me as well. The psychiatrist wasn't quite sure what the point was, either. The good news is that the appointment with the psychiatrist came at a critical time for me. I was taking a nosedive into the dark hole of depression and suicidal ideation, and really needed to talk with a therapist. He got me on the priority list of patients to see the new therapist, and I know I owe my life to him.
