The Hardship of Finding Help

So, as mentioned in an earlier blog, I decided to leave my former Psychiatrist (who also did Therapy). I know how unique that was to get both services provided by one person. It was relatively easy to find a new Therapist and I have done that, however, finding a new Psychiatrist for my medication management has been 'The Pits'. In January of this year my insurance kicked in with my new job, and I was eager for it as I knew it would be an improvement from my last insurance in regard to mental health. I have been searching on the website my insurance provider has, and am not having any luck. So many numbers on there are not really people who 'do' medication management. Other people are not accepting new patients. Other people just don't call me back. This is immensely frustrating, and pretty easy to see why people just give up...or, even worse, never get started in the first place. Something needs to be done for those people trying to help themselves.
