> My psychologist had suggested this, but I suspect his thinking was that it would give me the sense of resolution. My thinking was why bother. "Here's another letter from a derainged female complaining about treatment from a psychiatrist." Yeah right! I just avoid them. My gp prescribes the medications and the psychologist handles the therapy aspect. My gp seems to be more tuned in to mental health issues than this "mad-chemist" psychiatrist. Or perhaps he's just better with communicating.

AKC posted on the social board regarding something similar but it was geared to problems with health insurance in the states. When I applied for disability the provincial government recognized me as disabled but not the federal. I would like to know what the difference is?

Civil servants who've had either good or bad days. But try asking them and then stay on hold for 8 hours like my father once has (for something entirely different, he wanted to inform them that, yes, he did in fact exist and had so for some 47 years). My MP is a loser backbencher BQ MP. No point in even trying really. Now if we found someone who lived in Jean Chretien or Allan Rock's circonscriptions. Paul Martin's district is near where I live, maybe I could find someone there.It's like Canada wants to combine American paranoia about drugs with European freudian incompentence and mind over matter s--- like that. (I don't mean Europe is completely incompetent, obviously, it produces great pharmaceutical products. It's just their psychiatry books that are complete BS.)
