Why is it so hard to find a phychiatrist?

Posted by Wildflower on November 12, 2003, at 14:02:18

OK, I've gotten to the point that I really need to talk to someone about things that are going on right now. My general practioner had previously prescribed some ADs but told me that eventually I would need to find a specialist. Not in a million years would I think this would be so freaking hard!
I have a pre-approved list from my insurance which is not helping. The first two names on the list (the closest to where I live) are no longer at that location. The next two I called are not accepting new patients. This now brings me to someone who is not too close to where I'm at. This person doesn't have any appointments until mid-December.
What am I supposed to do? Is it always this hard to get an appointment with a phychiatrist? Any advice?
