Linkadge,

I too live in Canada and have had a difficult time finding a good therapist. I don't know if you live in Vancouver BC, or close to it, but University of BC has a free anxiety clinic that you can go to. They also have a mood disorder clinic where you can get free pyschiatric counselling with a four to six week waiting list. I went to the anxiety clinic and it was very helpful, plus I am going to see a pyschiatrist again. I saw one there a few years ago, and he wasn't for me, but there are more to choose from. Once you are registered at the clinics, you can get in anytime you need to. You must be referred to them by your family doctor.

If you don't live in or near Vancouver, check out your local universities. Check out their websites for a mental health, anxiety, depression and/or mood disorder unit. I found out about mine on the internet-my doctor didn't offer it, but when I asked for a referral, she gave me one no problem.

With depression and anxiety, you can't give up. It is a constant ever changing battle, and there is no cure. You have to keep searching, keep working on it. Force yourself to do something even though you don't feel like it, no matter how hard it is. Trust me, I'M THERE RIGHT NOW. I had to take today off work because I had the worst panic attack of my life yesterday that lasted four hours. The Effexor has it's moments where it doesn't seem to be working, but it's a constant uphill battle. I can't give up.
