im in the UK so it works differently here.
im a service user under the social services intelectual disability team and i see their pyschiatrist,i havent seen their pyschologist in years though.i HATE the pyschiatrist she doesnt like me and rushes me,i have a habit of saying im ok if at that very moment im feeling ok instead of saying the truth that im severely depressed,pyschotic and my meds arent working,she then gets really negative when she asks support staff how im doing and they tell her the truth because i had told her i was 'ok'.
im not allowed to see NHS pyschologists/pyschiatrists as the GP always says i have to go through the intelectual disability team,but recently i thought screw them-i self refered myself online to NHS councilors and im waiting for an answer off them.
ive also made a appointment with my usual gp tomorow/sunday to see if he will 'up' my anti depressant because the pyschiatrist is refusing to.
