O.k.,, here I am, desperately searching for a psychiatrist who is taking on new pts (& someone with whom I feel comfortable).

I made some phone calls last week & found a psychiatrist who was (apparently) taking on new pts. This afternoon, I saw my G.P. I told her about this particular psychiatrist & she knew her & told me, "Well, I can fax her the referral, but Dr. (X) won't necessarly take you on." I didn't understand, so I asked her to please explain. She told me that this psychiatrist gets the referrals & notes & depending on that, DECIDES as to whether or not she wants to take a pt. on. How moronic is that? Nice "holier than thou" attitude. If that's her attitude, I don't want an idiot doc like that.

I've heard about closed-minded, picky psychiatrists. It infuriates me. When I am seriously struggling to keep myself alive and trying to find a dr., let alone a psychiatrist where I live is so difficult, I really lose my faith in humanity, espec drs.

Sorry to *****, but I'm really pi$$ed.

Anyone else had a similar experience?
