I'm not at all satisfied. We have socialized healthcare and it's a complete nightmare. I've been waiting months and months to see a Pdoc and no one can help me with my mania in the meantime. At the ER they just give me one or two benzos (if I'm lucky) and tell me to go see my primary care doctor. My primary care says he can't treat me for bipolar since he's not a psychiatrist and tells me to go to the ER for help until I can see the outpatient Pdoc (whom is the only one who can treat me for bipolar. ERs aren't allowed to give prescriptions or actually treat you for mental illness.)

I've gotten sent home from the hospital twice when I should have been on suicide watch because the doctor didn't want to deal with me, and another time because they said the wars was full. It's been a total nightmare.
