Yes he did. He pointed me to the two clinics we have here in Ithaca. Still, I never seem to see the same one twice. I’m still looking. I’m thinking of going with a nurse practitioner who has prescriptive authority.

Psychiatrists are in demand but I’ve found problems in a lot of areas of healthcare. It’s very sad but I’ve found Nurse Practioners to have more time and have been very supportive. I drive a little over an hour to see my psychiatrist but he’s in private practice so takes all the time you need. If you could find someone not associated with a Clinic you might have better luck. I’m sorry for what you’re going through. It’s frustrating when we need help.
