most doctors are paid (is an NHS doc paid somehow even if not by
you directly?).
You are a consumer.
If you brought your car to a crummy mechanic
you wouldn't think twice about getting a 2nd
opinion. No guilty feelings questioning the mechanic.
YOU'RE the consumer.You obviously need a new pdoc,
what part makes you feel desperate?
Is it questioning the authority of someone like
a doctor? This can be difficult, especially when
depressed. But you are still miserable, so no
prob questioning this yahoo and moving onto someone
else. I hope you can establish good contacts/resources.Best wishes,
John
> I have an NHS doctor who is not interested in combining drugs or trying anything unusual (eg. MAOIs) - he isn't even interested in the fact that my depression is different from the "classic" type (it's atypical). I feel like in order to get any real help I will have to do something desperate, and I have no wish to do that. I just want my life back.
