Unfortunately it isn't a perfect world and we don't all have access to that level of health care.
When I had no insurance (no job too) and no government disability insurance funds, I had to rely on a county program where I could see a GP doctor only. I needed urgent psych care and I do not think I could wait until I received some benefits to see a Psych doc.

The GP doc did give me just a few psych med's (older generic) ones that helped me manage until I could go through the process of getting government disability benefits.

I do agree seeing a pdoc is best for psych issues. but I feel its better to get medical psych care from a GP doc than wait (sometimes a long wait) until a pdoc can be made available.
