Are there no private practice psychiatrists in Canada? I honestly don't know...
It's really not a whole lot faster here unless you present yourself as an emergency case. The last time I sought a psychiatrist paid entirely out of my own pocket it took at least 6 weeks between my initial calls and my intake appointment. If you're getting worse at the rate it sounds like you may be, that's still pretty much forever for all practical purposes.
I hope you do go to the ER. If things are as hard as they sound, it's probably the right move.
