I think I will need to get on a waiting list, which should take a couple of months. Hopefully I can start that the summer before I turn 18 while I'm still seeing my pdoc, so there won't be this huge gap. On the other hand, the wait can sometimes be shortened - I was supposed to wait three to six months to see a psychiatrist at the children's clinic, but my guidance counselor at the time decided quite rightly that I couldn't wait that long, brought me to the emergency room, and from there we got a note as to how serious things were and I was seen much sooner. I don't want to have to resort to that, but if I'm in a crisis and don't think I can wait, I will.

I hadn't thought of therapy being offered in colleges, though that does apply here, too - at least at the university I'm looking at. Right now I'm not quite in what you would call college, but in a two-year program between that and high school. We have counsellors, but when it comes to mental illness they mostly provide referrals. Good to know it applies to grad students, too. I'm interested in going into medicine, psychology, or education (good thing I have plenty of time left to decide!), so I'm expecting a long haul as far as education goes.
