Psychiatric assessments

so i have a 5 hour psychiatric assessment next tuesday.... can anyone tell me what they will do say or ask
basically i tried to kill myself last week, its not the first time, i overdosed. also i self harm and suffer from eating disorders... just basically a mess.
but i have also developed a lot of anxieties and can't stop having panic attacks.... anyway thats a bit of background info, but i am really paranoid about them sectioning me, they tried to last week so my dad took them to court and won the right to take me home, probably not for the best but still i didn't want to be sectioned. but what if they try again, i don't want to lie to them but i am so paranoid and scared... anyway if anyone has been through an assessment and can tell me anything about it that would be a really good help!!!
thanks :)
