In reply to Psychiatric care: is this the usual?, posted by fi on November 29, 2004, at 11:57:24
This sounds familiar..im in uk.
Your gp will send you to a psychiatric consultant to deal with meds and if the meds are ok for you then the gp will just do a repeat prescription.
If you go back to gp and say you're not better then you will see the psychiatrist again and maybe get follow up with the psychiatrist...about every 12 weeks depending on your diagnosis.
It takes years..cost first..then maybe care.It's usually not the doctors fault but they eventually get apathetic.
