Phyciatrist

[Gym1bunny]

Just been to see a phyciatrist for my depression and anxiety well I came out more depressed and anxious than before I went in I've got to self refer myself for CBT I've waited months for this appointment why didn't my doctor tell me to do this ? I feel so let down as anyone else had the same experience?

I think the way in which mental health is treated varies massively across the country. Sorry to hear of your experience. I think your right in that your GP should have suggested CBT. Try and ignore what’s happened and go with the CBT.

Thats one of the reasons I cancelled my appointment today, part was because im not feeling too good today anyway, and part was because i didnt want to get upset and go through anything as im feeling anxious and emotional anyway, I thought it might help but to be honest I dont think it will.
