Sorry to hear about your bad experience. I say go for the 90 min drive. I know its a pain, but it may well be worth it. My treatment/therapy/
medications come from doctors at a large univerity medical center. If you don't mind another suggestion -- in dealing with such an instituion ASK TO SEE AN ATTENDING PHYSICIAN. DO NOT let them schedule you with a resident. And remember, stand firm, be overly polite. If you are told it is not possible to see an attending physician ask why not. (you have a right to know)
Chances are they tell everyone that. They will probably not be able to schedule you with an attending for a long period. If this happens, take the appointment, and ask to be called if anything opens up sooner. It is family policy in our family to see attending physicians at the med center and we have been going there for 25 years.
I still recommend the psychologist route too. If I were you I would report the one you last had to your state's licensing/certification board (hopefully he is licensed!) In the future find out. In many states they can practice without being certified.
Also, no good psychologist or plychiatrist should give you a diagnosis until they have seen you AT LEAST four or five times! Hope this helps.
