Superstitious beliefs and ostracization on one side, enforcing powerful pharmacotherapy on the other

They do their best but the services are overcapacity and it takes months to get an appointment if its not urgent.

though to their credit, if it is urgent they will see you as soon as they receive the heads up from the GP. Had an a crippling anxiety referral and was seen in 24 hours, they even opened on a saturday specially for me to come in.

I have psychiatric problems and it's kinda shit. I'm obviously not open about it. I buy meds and go to therapy privately instead of through public healthcare because I don't want that shit to be written down anywhere. I've changed 4 psychiatrists and 3 psychologists so far. Most of them are completely useless, unprofessional, have no people skills and aren't really interested in anything but giving you meds and taking your money.

Psychiatrists that I've seen basically don't even practice psychotherapy, they just give me meds.

Non-healthcare workers ar mixed. Family members don't really understand my situation and my grandparents don't know anything about it since they would probably act super weird about it.

What's bothering you?

You can easily get to a public-funded psychiatrist here, but the appointments last like 10-15 minutes because there's too much people lined up.

Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, social phobia, all since elementary school. I think my case is an endogenous one, there's no external reason for it all but the problem is probably just that my brain is fucked. Worst two experiences was being is such a strong panic attack that I was literally just running around the city, felt like I was being chased by a bear, I was just sprinting around like a lunatic.

Worst second is developing a fucking swallowing phobia. It's ridiculous, I literally couldn't eat a banana in less 20 minutes, I just couldn't make myself swallow. Meds fixed the anxiety, but the depression is still here.

Endless meds and therapy sessions that ultimately amount to nothing.

I've been in the system for a while now.
