Pdoc shortage

Is there a psychiatrist shortage in your area?

I’m going to be changing insurance companies at the end of the year and planning a pdoc transition ahead of time, and just about everyone is not accepting new patients.

How do you get around this?? I would like to get the right doc, not just any doc.

Does anyone just see their primary doctor instead?

I see a nurse practitioner because my insurance won’t cover pdoc and the closest pdoc is over an hour away across state lines

Get on the waiting lists if they have them. IDK if there’s a shortage here. I’ve been going to the same clinic for 9 years and saw one psychiatrist for 4 years and now I’ve been seeing a different psychiatrist there for the last 5 years.
