My GP wants me to see a psychiatrist. He gave me a list of names to call but a few went to fax numbers, one was engaged all the time, one kept ringing through & when I actually did get to speak with someone the psychiatrist had left the practice 2 years ago. I've always seen female therapists so would prefer female. Am open to seeing a male tho. TIA :)
Psychiatrists are hard to find where I live in Smalltown USA. :) When I had this issue, I actually called all the psychiatrists in the area (4) and went in to meet each of them for a consultation. My insurance only paid for one of the visits but I was able to negotiate a reduced rate for the others because it was private pay. Good luck to you in finding one. The psychiatrists I have seen have been very helpful. They aren't afraid to prescribe the higher doses of meds that most of us need like family physicians are.
Thanks Liz
There is some very good therapists out there. I hope you find one that works for you
