I agree with Rainbow, Miss L - could you go and see another GP? I know it's very frustrating to have to go through it all again, and it does seem ridiculous to be discharged so quickly from the psychiatrist, especially after such a short appointment - that's no better than the length of a standard GP appointment. It is so maddening how different it is depending on where you live. My first ever appt with a (NHS) pdoc was an hour or so, and after a couple of shorter ones which admittedly were pretty pointless, I started seeing a new one who was excellent and always spent as long as I needed - didn't feel rushed.

I hope you are able to find someone to listen to you more effectively than has happened so far. Take care of yourself.
