I decided to think about getting help since my depression has been the worst it's ever been this year. I called my old psychiatrist's office and I hadn't been back in a year, so I would have been considered a new patient and she isn't taking them.
Then I called the office my mom goes to, and they said that I would need to see a pcp in their system, see a therapist, then I'd be able to see a psychiatrist. The thing is, I had a doctor in their system but she moved out of state and my insurance is only covered here. I went around calling again, and all of the physicians aren't taking new patients. Besides, if I could have gotten an appointment I feel like I wouldn't have been able to get in for a couple weeks, which seems like forever when I'm in this mindset. Now I'm discouraged from wanting to get help since I'm just getting turned away. Jumping through all these hoops is just making me feel like it's not worth it. Has anyone been through something like this? I can't really talk to my parents. They hear what I say but they're not truly listening because the conversation always goes back to, "You have no reason to be depressed" I'm just frustrated with the whole situation right now and I don't know what to do.

Hello deeanj1: I'm sorry you are encountering this difficulty.
 I know finding a pdoc who is accepting new patients can be a real problem. I'm no longer on psych med's. But I still see my pdoc periodically just so his clinic does not close my file. I don't have any suggestions for you here I'm afraid.  Please hang in there & keep trying.
