Lizzy,
Since you are in the UK perhaps you can shed some light on how one does go about finding a psychiatrist there. My daughter is studying in London this year and is currently on medication for depression (Wellbutrin) and also takes a small dose of Lorazepam. She went to the doctor today (a family doctor recommended by her school)because she is more depressed and he wants her off all psych meds. He said he doesn't agree with the American system and thinks all psych drugs are bad and mask the real problems. He wants her in group therapy for an eating disorder, which he diagnosed by asking her a bunch of questions. She is overeating because she is depressed (she doesn't binge, purge or starve.) I want another opinion but how do you go directly to a pdoc in the UK? I am so frustrated I could scream!
