I am willing to see a doctor but I don't know where to go or what kind of doctor to see.It just seemed like less trouble to go through mail order but I agree with you about seeing a doctor.Any suggestions on how I should go about finding the right doctor?
John,
One suggestion is to phone your state's most highly regarded university medical center (has an assoiciated medical school). Ask to be connected to the outpatient psychiatric department. Normally they can refer you to a competent doc in your locale. For example, the University of Colorado is very good at doing this where I live. You can also phone the most highly regarded hospital in your area that has an inpatient psych department and ask for a recommendation. Your family physician should be able to refer you to someone. You can request that this be confidential if you are over eighteen, unless, of course, you are asking your parents or their insurance to pick up the tab. Confidentiality is very important to docs. My pDoc won't discuss anything about me with my husband unless I given him ongoing explicit permission to do so.Hope this helps. Please forgive me for being so harsh in my previous post.
