I'm sorry you had such a terrible experience.

Can you call your insurance company? Some of them have nurses you could talk to and they may be able to get you a referral.

I would get a new doctor. He isn't take you seriously and you are in a lot of distress. He sounds like a terrible doctor and you deserve better. Can you call the doctors office and ask for a referral? That way you don't have to go back or wait.

You have a business and are trying to maintain that along with your family. A psych ward is more for people who are a danger to themselves, they cannot adequately take care of themselves or need a high level of treatment. It doesn't sound like you are in that place.

My primary care doctor prescribe a couple pysch meds, but after they didn't help she had me see a psychiatrist. She realized I need more help and expertise than she could provide. I don't think for the most part primary care doctors have much experience with treating mental illness.
