I feel for you and understand totally. Usually, when a provider retires, they handover patient care to a new team of providers for continuity of care for patients rather than leave them hanging with no support/care.

Did your psychiatrist provide referrals to a new psychiatrist? If not, you may want to ask them for a referral/recommendation for continuity of care. You will need to ensure your medical records and history are handed over to the new psychiatrist so you don’t need to start over from the beginning of your journey.

Best wishes to you as you seek continuity of care. It is really important you find someone new who can provide you the care you need and deserve.

Thanks so much for your kind reply. He is leaving in a couple months and is in the process of trying to find a good match for me. But no guarantees. so I am also looking on my own. Feels like walking around in the dark.
But I’m trying to look at it positively, as a new chapter, perhaps with some new perspectives and treatments. Trying my best to stay positive in the midst of what feels like an emotional avalanche.
