Hi Nikki,
A few of the psychiatrists I have seen in the past have been very threatened when I have brought up info I gathered from this forum and my own research on the net. It sounds as if your present shrink may be one of them. I'm sure everyone here can testify how truly difficult it is to find a compassionate, intelligent and open shrink- and it sounds especially difficult in your situation. I wish I had a solution for you, you said it will take 4 months to see someone recommended- is there any way to access the Department of Psychiatry at the University closest to you? I know London has some fine institutions. If you could call and speak to the Department head's secretary and explain your situation perhaps she could recommend the proper person and move things along. This is the way I got into see Hagop Akiskal (a prominant bipolar expert in California). Still wishing you good luck. Take care, Judy
