During my assessment, the psychiatrist said she got as much out of my frequest requests for clarification as she did from the answers.

-“Do changes in your environment distress you?”

-“What type of changes and how big? Someone stealing my jacket, or my bus being delayed by 10 minutes? Does distress mean angry? Or annoyed? Can you give an example of what distress feels like, in the context of this question?”

Yeah, seeing how people respond to an open ended question is part of the assessment process itself. A lot of people can see that question and just say “yeah” or “nah” but you, and myself, see a huge gradient of possible scenarios and outcomes and need specificity
