A multiaxial psychiatric diagnosis (GAF is Axis V), can typically be done in an hour or less. Unless there are obvious problems (e.g., psychosis), the 'exam' simply consists of a brief conversation between you and the doc. If he she is anal or overly thorough, it may involve taking a pencil-and-paper test such as the MMPI-II (about 600 questions long at this point).
