I haven't seen a pdoc since I left the hospital at the beginning of Dec and I haven't been given an appt to see one yet. It's because they think depression is only biological. I was going to write to Uni pdoc but I decided not to. I don't see the point in bothering him when he can't do anything. And these doctors are adamant that I don't have psychosis so what if he was wrong and is no good? They even said that I shouldn't go back to uni there (cos they don't want me to see him again) and implied he was incompetent. I thought he was good and I thought he was right about the sza diagnosis, but I'm off meds and the voices aren't talking any more, so maybe both of us were wrong?! IDK...

First the voices don't have to be constant...you can have remission. Personally I would be happy the voices were gone although I know it's also a loss at the same time. It's possible the ECT did something...
But let's says that you don't have psychosis which you don't seem to right now...you still have depression and that needs treatment...your other doctor whether he thought psychotic depression or sza still thought depression. If you remain untreated you may actually hurt yourself and nobody wants to see that.
In my experience doctors associated with university hospitals are better than the others because they tend to keep up their training more. Second you old pdoc actually listened to you he never forced you to do things against your will...in my book that makes him a better human being and someone I'd rather work with.
So write to him....even if you can't see him he might be able to give you a prescription...
