Looking back on the crisis mode I entered last week, I'm pretty unhappy with mental health care, and the attitude towards the depressed and suicidal.

An MD called called into the end of another medical appointment I was having to discuss "if I'm safe or not". I was honest about where I'm at. I've been going to my medical dr.'s office for almost 4 years and I've never asked for this kind of help.

The MD started to ask if my therapist (CBT T) was frustrated with me because I'm not doing the work/taking responsibility? First of all, this MD is someone I've never met before-as far as I know she does not know me. Secondly, if I had come in with a broken leg, would she ask "Is your dr frustrated with you because you were not careful?"

It seems ridiculous how quick the medical community is to blame the patient.

Even with a job and health insurance, I don't have many options for MH care. God help those who are worse off than I---It is nightmarish to think what a "sicker" person would go through.
