Thanks for reaching out to us on the forum, It does indeed seem you are having a stressful time, sorry to hear about your brother, it must be extremely overwhelming for you not being able to go to the UK to be with family at this time. My advice to you is just allow yourself the space to grieve, without judgement of yourself.

As for the Psychiatrist referral a site that i refer people to go to is The Australian College of Psychiatrists

Good luck in your journey in search of a practitioner, be kind to yourself.

Reach out if you need to.
