thanks. I have 1 more appointment with this psychiatrist at the clinic before he goes away ((private practice)). I like my counselor, but..wow. A lot of the people at this clinic (we're called "clients" now..."recovery model," supposedly...) are doing tele-psychiatry. Its where you sit in a room with a hi-def webcam and have a session with a shrink somewhere in the state, and then they get your prescriptions to a pharmacy electronically. The other option would be to try to get with the --1-- psychiatrist on staff, in the building, who works for the state as a permanent employee...and hope that person doesn't jump ship, too.
