Hello All 

I need help, I am not happy with my psychiatrist for was only interested in diagnosing my ADHD and making me call him for each prescription and is costing me a fortune and he isn’t willing to address my PTSD and Anxiety issues saying I’m to complex. Can someone please help me find a doctor who 1. is happy to attack all my mental health issue and 2. Happy for my GP to be the continuing prescriber after initial 1 or 2 appointments with either 6 or 12 monthly appointments to check in, I appreciate the help!

Hello Dear Kel1981,

A very warm and caring welcome to our forums…

I am so sorry that you’re not happy with your psychiatrist…

Just a gentle suggestion that maybe if you can reach out to your Dr about your mental health, they might be able to recommend a psychologist/counsellor or social worker to help you with your PTSD and anxiety…I think that psychiatrist just mostly diagnose and prescribe meds rather then address mental health diagnosis. 

My psychiatrist only diagnosed me and wrote out scrips..where, my psychologist and later social worker helped me to manage my PTSD, depression and anxiety…most Drs. and psychologist etc..work together to help you the best way they can..

Please, talk here whenever you feel up to it…

My kindest thoughts Dear Kel,

Grandy..
