It's my life ambition as I've struggled big time over here with crap doctors and shrinks who don't know their job. I have made more progress by using this board and researching my crippling social phobia and depression, then convincing my shrink to follow my suggestions (all your suggestions). eg clonazepam has currently changed my life but it took a hell of a lot of persuading my doctors and shrink to prescribe it as it's not even licensed for anxiety over here, only epilepsy!

> Chris UKGood for you Chris. I like the attitude. My family has suffered so much at the hands of doctors in the U.K. Their ignorance is compounded by their arrogance and lack of compassion. Believe it or not I have had access to far superior doctors in Brazil, although I've had to pay for it. I sincerely wish you every success! Jan
