Hi Phillipa,
I assure you the situation is much worse in less populated areas of the country. The small city I live in is supposed to be the regional medical center for the entire central part of my state. There are hundreds of doctors that practice in various public and private hospitals and clinics. There are maybe two or three psychiatrists that practice in the area. There is one listed in the yellow pages. From where I live, you can count on driving 150 miles to even see a PDOC. You actually have a better shot at seeing a psychiatrist, in my town, if you have no insurance. The very few that do work in this area are in the government subsidized clinics.
Take care,
Jedi
