Have you tried the psychologists in our practitioner directory?

While we have done CBT teens are now after a quick fix in a tablet. Given a bad experience with antidepressant &amp; what we now know is a genetic inability to metabolize many antidepressants, I am now extremely wary of teen taking new prescription handed over yesterday. Teen psych care in Hobart is a disaster.</P> Sat, 14 Dec 2013 00:24:12 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/supporting-family-and-friends/tas-teens/m-p/83764#M4021 Melcat 2013-12-14T00:24:12Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/supporting-family-and-friends/tas-teens/m-p/83765#M4022 <P>Hi Melcat, can you tell us a little about what your daughter is experiencing and what you're going through so we can provide some support? &nbsp;</P> <P>I'm sorry to hear you've had poor experiences with trying to get proper psychiatric care in Tasmania.
