I reach out for help,
but no one's there, I now know.
Would you like to know the reason?
I belong to an HMO.Went to a new doctor today (GP). I'm the Celexa girl
who had a brief 4 day reprieve from severe depression.
I thought it was my other GP who was the problem in getting a psych referral,
whom I had asked 2x and he never got back to me. To this
day, I've only seen a GP about my depression that I have
suffered since I was 12. I am now 33.But today a new GP, and she informed me that my insurance
is only accepted by two psychs in the area, and one was
not taking new patients and the other only had a answering
machine. She was very concerned and told me to go directly to the
CDPHP crisis center. No thanks, I saw what they did to my mother.
They misdiagnosed her as having Alzheimer's disease, had her declared
incompetent, took her house and possessions, and once they had those,
kicked her out on the street. To this day we don't know where she is.
Might sound like a movie of the week, but that is what happened.
I have the papers to prove it. I am not going to any shrink who
misdiagnoses a 48 year old women who was too paranoid to leave her
house, she almost starved to death with ALZHEIMERS, for crying out
loud. I would rather die than go to that terrible place.
I had so much hope, now there is none. none. I had a glorious 4 days,
but it wasn'tmeant to last for me. I'm not meant to enjoy a normal life.If anyone knows of a psych in the Albany, NY area, who takes Blue Cross,
Blue Shield please let me know. I don't know what else to do. Just wait
till I can't take it anymore I guess.Michele
