Hi JC, Finding a good therapist and/or psychiatrist can often be very challenging. I've also had a therapist refuse to treat me after seeing her for several months. At first I really liked her, but then she wouldn't let me schedule appointments with her in the afternoon. It wasn't that she didn't have afternoon appointments, she just believed that I needed to get up early in the morning. I've been a 'night owl' all my life, getting up early isn't easy for me anytime...depressed or not. She kept scheduling me for 10am...and it was an hour drive. When I kept saying I couldn't make it that early she snapped at me and said 'no one should have problems getting to an appointment at 10am, it's ridiculous that you do.' And when I first started seeing her I made it clear to her that I wouldn't take any anti-depressants; I had been on several different ones and was tired of the side-effects. But after a while she began insisting I see a psychiatrist and when I refused she said she'd no longer be my therapist. Her abrubt, insensitive, forceful rejection made me even more depressed and it took me a long time to even try and find another therapist. If she had told me in a different, more gentle way she felt unable to treat me then I wouldn't have felt so terrible...and angry. Some people in the mental health profession should just find a job that requires minimal contact with people!! But I eventually found a therapist I really connected with and who I saw off and on for 3 years. She was great and helped me conquer a severe specific phobia. So even though it's daunting...and demands energy that's hard to muster when you're depressed...keep trying to find a therapist. There are good ones out there. I'd recommend interviewing them, be upfront about your last psychiatrist and other experiences and see how they respond. And I've seen websites with suggestions of questions to ask potential therapists/pdocs. I wish you the best of luck in your search. ~Isil'zha veni~

Thanks, Sharon. In between my hospitalizations last year we found a super psychiatrist who was not interested in any previous diagnosis, nor was he going to be a med doc. He was going to make his diagnosis based on some pretty intense interviews. Met with him twice and they were the most refreshing visits, though he asked a lot of really tough questions. I was actually coming to believe that there was at least one doctor out there who was willing to help. Well, if it sounds too good ... The night I went in for my second hospital visit my wife called this doc to let him know. He dropped me right then and there. He told my wife that his patients "don't go to the hospital," and that he was "too busy" to deal with me. Wow. Talk about low blow. I'm sort of limited to what meds I can take because I also suffer from the occasional seizure. Adds some excitement to my life. jc

JC, I here what you are saying. I am a 35 year old women who has been shuffled around to 3 Psychiatrists who have all diagnosed me with some different. My last Psychiatrists, who I really like, has diagnosed me with Depression, Anxiety and Agoraphobia (I have panic attacks). In regards to medication I have been on Effexor, Remeron, Xanax, Clonazepam, Ativan, Cipralex, Seroquel and finally the medication that seems to be working Perphenazine. I also still take Remeron to help with the depression and Seroquel to help me sleep at night and half a dose of Seroquel when I go outside. I see a psychoterapist twice a week and I think the therapy is really starting to help. I am glad that you have found this site and the people here are wonderful and fully understand what you are going through. Hang in there, Sharon

Hi. My name is JC and this is my first post here. I'm a 42 y/o guy. In 1999 I had a major depresive episode which landed me in the hospital. At that time I was diagnosed MDD. I was on paxil for a couple of years, until I got chicken pox in October of 2001. Yup. Just after 9/11. When my then wife took me to the hospital they all assumed I was the first case of small pox. Right. In the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania. I was okay for a couple of years without meds. How many times have you heard that one?? Anyway, it all came to a head last fall. I starting having major anxiety attacks and suicidal ideations, which ended me in the hospital again. Five minutes there and I was suddenly bi-polar. Okay. Got out of the hospital and spent two weeks in out-patient therapy. At the end of those two weeks I was back in the hospital again. Got out and did some more out-patient stuff and have been struggling since. I was just in the hospital again last week. My diagnosis was again changed to MDD, but they really want it to be dysthymia. I've lost my wife, kids, dogs, and house to this illness, whatever name you want to put on it. I haven't worked in over two years. Anyway, that's basically me. Just wanted to say "hello." jc
