Difficulty finding a Psychiatrist

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.

Thank you for your concern. As a matter of fact,I’ve found a very good nurse practitioner, and have made an appt. for this month. Fingers crossed.

Hi, @marilcs - how did you find the psychiatrist you are seeing? Did someone recommend or refer him? Did you try others first?
