I am at the end of my list of psychiatrists that have been recommended to me by others. I ditched the one who wanted $1,500 as suggested. I tried calling all the others, but they either never returned my call or said they are booked for the next 3-6 months.
I have only one name left. The issue is that this doctor has a one page website on which she mentions in two sentences that she is trained in psycho-pharmacology and TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation). The rest of the the page is about her use of TMS and its history and benefits for treatment-resistant depression.
I need a psychiatrist who will help me find the proper medication because, like I've said in other posts, I've been on about 40 different kinds. My concern is that upon hearing this this psychiatrist will either push me to do TMS or will take me on in the hopes of persuading me to do TMS. I also have this fear that she won't try to find the right medication for me and instead will prescribe drugs she knows won't work so I will give in and do TMS. I mean she writes about how it requires 60 sessions for the full treatment so I imagine it is a good way for her to make money. I know it sounds paranoid, but I've been treated so badly by other therapists and psychiatrists that I am so wary.
I feel like this is a silly question, but she's the last one on my list and I've run out of people to ask for referrals. I'm so confused.
