Glad you were able to calm down and that others were able to address your lithium concerns. The title of your post caught my attention -- I've always known urgent cares as offering illness and injury sorts of things, sports physicals etc. So it surprised me this way, and ran counter to my (kind of amusing) personal experience a few years ago. So here's the thing, the big question...

Urgent care's modus operandi, is their specialty in "one-off" sorts of visits. Since mental health things don't exactly tend to "get fixed" in that way, do they refer you to a regular provider? Somewhere where on-going care is done? (Or have they themselves expanded into doing on-going care??)

(Ok, the story. A few years ago, I'd moved and was getting rather desperate to find someone for my med management. Referred in circles, finally someone suggested this place (regional chain, I didn't know anything). Not only could they take me, they could see me now?? Wow. So I went in, paid and got sent to one of the rooms. Then the doctor/nurse/whatever came in. As soon as they heard, "BP"... "Back out ya go, here's your money. We don't deal with things like that here". Lol. Anyhow, just looked it up, and apparently, the do "deal with things like that" now.)

So yeah, how do they handle that? (The on-going nature of handling BP, that is.)
