I am lucky that my GP seems to be pretty good in this area, but even then she is constrained by the NHS. It is so hard to be patient though, isn't it? When you know that if you had a broken leg, or cancer etc. you would never be told that you could go on a waiting list, but the current waiting time is about 9 months yet it's acceptable to leave people with mental health problems for that long.
