/not insurance no- I live in the UK so you have to get a referral from a GP to see any kind of specialist! Well unless you go private which I can't afford! 2 GPs so far have refused to refer me to anyone else but I see no reason why my current pdoc is still involved when I never see him or talk to him- he has a meeting once a year with my therapist and GP and thats it!!!!
> Call you Health Insurance Company and ask about your Behavioral Health Benefits. Many insurances don't require a referral to see a pdoc. Some require you to go to a psychologist first.

> As a last resort, look into your local government funded Behavioral Health Services. Your State Department of Health Services provides them. Look in the "blue pages" (how appropriate – blue - for government listings) of the phone book for #s.
