Hi desperado, thanks for clarifying about GP's with a psychotherapy specialty in Canada.

Where are you now in the process of seeing the psychiatrist? Have you seen him/her yet? I couldn't tell from your posts if you had seen the pdoc already and been rejected or you would be seeing him/her soon and were worried about not being accepted as a patient.

If you haven't seen him/her yet, could you go to the appointment and hope to be accepted, and if you're not, just ask for a referral to a pdoc that specialized in your kind of patient? Once you get your foot in the door with one pdoc, he/she might be a really good resource for getting you referred to the right person. I know it takes time and is frustrating, but it could turn out OK and result in a good match. Hang in there!
