Does anyone know if it's a thing in the UK where you can go through a process (I'm assuming with a psychiatrist or psychologist), where they assess you as a whole, then diagnose you with any condition(s) you may have? So theoretically, you could end up with 0 diagnosis', or multiple?

I already know I have eating disorders and am probably autistic, but I show signs of other mental health conditions. I also really struggle socially, and I am very isolated and generally don't fit in.

Would an appropriately trained professional be able to sit down, maybe after several appointments, and then be able to tell me what's going on? And if so, would I have to go private for that, or is it accessible thru the NHS?

I crashed and burned last night. Feeling distinctly suicidal and what's-the-fucking-point. I;m a little better now I've had some sleep but I'm still very fragile. Maybe I'l talk to my GP tomorrow but GPs only ever want to throw pills at it. I've fought with the mental health system for years, in vain, and I don't know what to do or where to turn. It's the price I pay for being a square peg in a very round world I expect.
