I think it takes that long because the Canadian health care system is right now in an extremely bad way. I have a friend who's been waiting for urology surgery for well over a year now and still can't even get a surgery date. The surgeon works 12-14 hours per day, practically every day, so it's not like there's anything he could do about it. Long waiting periods are part of the game here. Just to see a counsellor (his degree is in social work) through the health district here in Saskatchewan took about 3 months, and an appointment with a psychiatrist took about 5. By then I didn't even feel like I needed to see him anymore.

But anyway, I think if your new doctor is worth his salt, if you tell him you had a bad experience with the previous psychiatrist, he will try to refer you to a different one. In my experience, most doctors are pretty reasonable about that. After all, how much good will it do you to go to a pdoc you don't trust?
