Hi,
Just wanted to vent some anger about psychiatrists in general. About the fact that half of them don't seem to know what they're doing (in the UK anyway) and don't seem to sense the urgency of finding something that actually works.
I'm tired of having to be nice and creep round them just to get what I want.
I've seen a number (about 8) psychiatrists in the UK, they range from arrogant, disinterested and dispassionate, or clueless.
The one I did see who I liked couldn't see me anymore because he changed his clients to old age ones, the one I saw after him on the NHS was a total waste of time. The last lady I've seen has been really nice and willing to pretty much let me try what I want but she seems to take forever to get back to me.
After seeing her for the first time she went off sick for 3 weeks, I guess she's entitled to and now she's supposed to be looking at getting me referred for ECT. The problem is that I'm seeing her privately and neither she or the ECT Clinic where I want to have the treatment is in my catchment area. She said she'd look into how she could get me referred, that was over three weeeks ago and she still hasn't come back to me!
Another gripe is that last time I saw her she forgot what I was actually taking, she seemed to think I was on Effexor and Remeron, when it was Seroxat and Remeron.
She also said she'd have to look into the washout period for Nardil and I already knew it was two weeks. It took her two weeks, when I rang her up just to tell me that the wash out period for Nardil was two weeks.
She seems to be one of the good ones, but my faith in her is gradually diminishing week by week!
I feel lately as though my life is just wasting away as I try and will each day on to get to the end of it!
Denise
