Do you think they just shuttle us in like cattle

If I miss my appt. This month, which I won’t I can’t be seen for 6 months. There can’t be that many mentally ill people can there? For a half hour visit?

I’m lucky to be living in an area with a surplus of pdocs (though only 2 take my insurance) I’ve been seeing her weekly as I’ve been getting psychotic recently. I sit with her for an hour though. Sorry you aren’t getting much from the system in your area.

Find another place that can accommodate you better than that.

I wonder about this too as it’s the same for the pdocs in my area.

I’m with my pdoc for 15 minutes. Then u can get a lot more people in.

I only get fifteen minutes appointments and they’re definitely difficult to schedule. I get one every 10-12 weeks, but appointment times are very limited and if I need to reschedule it’s usually several months out. It’s a big problem here. The city had tried to address it but failed spectacularly.

It is a long time since I’ve seen a psychiatrist. It has been nurses prescribing for me for at least a decade.
