Comment	I went NHS and waited 18 months for a diagnoses. The reasons I didn't go private although hitting rock bottom during the wait were: \- If you go private you then cannot get a diagnoses later on via the NHS even if you aren't diagnosed \- If your diagnoses is private your medication will need to be paid for by you (It's free on NHS)
