Idk about other places, but it is incredibly difficult to get a new patient psych appointment here. I've been off meds for 3-4 years and I urgently need to get back on them. I've called around and every psychiatrist I've called within 15-20 miles is booked through June-July. I wish there were urgent care or rediclinic for mental health. I know I need back on my meds asap, but not badly enough to go to a psych ward for a week or two.

I understand where you are coming from! It is ridiculous to have a person needing psych meds wait for months to get in. And that is also the case where I live. I see a nurse practitioner and I don't like her much. But she does give me my prescriptions. One thing I have considered is traveling to another area to get on meds. There is a city about an hour away that has a medical school and seems to have a lot of pdocs. I thought about going there, getting things to where I want them, and then asking my GP to prescribe from that point.
