Well, I went to one of the 'Mood Disorders Clinics', this one at St. Joseph's Hospital in Hamilton. They have many, though, all over Ontario, and actually a few in Toronto. You can go here, http://www.mooddisorders.on.ca/clinics.htm for a complete list. You need an initial referral from your family doctor or pdoc, and it may take a month or two, but it is absolutely *worth* the wait! I have never even heard of, and certainly never experienced such amazing care. You also get info on many cutting-edge research projects that you can participate in, (Some of the best research in the world comes out of Toronto and Hamilton) and it is all free to Canadian citizens. I am going to get into one of the rTMS (sp?) trials, as well as a very interesting one on "Mood and Diet". The clinician there told me about trials for some of the other unreleased meds mentioned on here also. I call it the "Porsche" of mental health care.
Any more questions...please ask away!
Best wishes,
Jay
