I must have called every PDoc in my city when I got discharged from the ER. I spent a full day on the phone with mental health centers and various docs until I got my appointment. I lucked out with my doc, he had just started his practice (he used to just work at the psych hospital here) and he specializes in bipolar and anxiety disorders. The best advice I can give someone is don't give up, just keep calling. Mental health most places is difficult, but not impossible. Good Help (in my case, great help) is there, you just have to find it.
