@ London - Hey, I'm from South Africa and feeling my way through our mental health system. Government health support is NOT an option, and private practice is expensive. I'm also battling to find a pdoc that I really get on with, and am starting to run out of ideas. I'm sure you'll be able to find some sort of assistance in Italy. maybe post on the General Mental Health board asking for members from Italy; then you can swap advice as to how to tackle the system most effectively.

I think you'll benefit a LOT from checking in with us, and finding support here. A new country can be VERY daunting. But please put yourself and your health first. You need to find a pdoc and T as a matter of urgency.
