luvyrself, I think my next psychiatrist should be a female, if possible. We'll see. I'm not quite ready to make a drastic switch, but I am trying to see him less often. When he was scheduling future appointments, he offered one that was two weeks after my next one. I told him that 3 weeks after was fine. Perhaps I'll try to go 4 weeks in the future.
I'm afraid that the only US states that I'd consider, besides my own, are states that would likely not offer any easier situation than my current state.It's true that a foreign land is a big culture change, but some US states are a real culture change, as well.
France has excellent healthcare. We're not considering third world countries. Another advantage of France compared to other European countries is that my husband and I speak a good amount of French already. We would still need to do some intensive study, but we'd be OK even without a lot extra. My Czech husband does not wish to return to Czech Republic. Though he is fluent in Czech, I know very little. Czech is a much more difficult language to learn than French.
