Fair point - it can be really hard to get in with a psych. I'd talk to your PCP and see if they can get you a referral at least.

That's a good point. If you are only looking for drugs, you're probably doing it wrong.

That's very true. Sometimes the work only comes once you start to get better (and then don't think you need the help). This advice could work if someone has noticed a loved one needs help and has to seek out help on another's behalf. It took me years to finally reach the step of starting the search which was super hard. I'm getting good results though.
