Hi,
Yes I'm having the very same problem with the NHS psychiatrists. My current NHS psychiatrist would not prescribe a new med after I told him that my depression was getting worst after being on lexapro for over two years. He told me that I should try therapy or "mindfulness" instead!
Then when he found out that I had already had a lot of therapy and had tried mindfulness he sent me for a second opionin with another psychiatrist who is also a therapist. The second opinion one, whilst seeming very nice and caring, steered the conversation towards "acceptance" and then started to tell me how I would be better off just accepting the way things were instead of searching for a new med/treatment to help me. I've put in a complaint about this because this "Mindfullness" seems to be a buz word right now with the NHS psychiatrists and therapists.
