Maximus medical Friday 13th

I have a face to face medical next week. No the date does not bother me. But I have PTSD, depression, due to domestic abuse. I am so terrified of how to answer. I did do a work programme whilst being assessed for this condition, seeing a phycologist. Thus gaining an NVQ. How do I explain this at medical. This basically brought mental health condition to a head. Plus last time I worked was aged 21, due to looking after kids. I am over 50. This is the first medical assessment I have had.
Any advice on the mental health assessment.

@Lynette1066 I feel for you I'm going through all this again, and sent my form back by the 18th June, just tell them how you are and feel and how it affects your life daily, dont be over friendly or over talk, if you answer Yes to a problem you suffer explain it and don't let them fob you off, also don't make any special effort like nice ironed cloths or washing and looking like a princess. Just be you.
I also see you've stated total time of three weeks? Is that from when you sent the form back to the DWP, Maximus.
I will point blank not be going to an assessment ever again I would rather starve.

Always best to obtain and send your own evidence I don't rely on Maximus getting it as they often don't.
Please keep us informed how you get on. Good luck.
