P.S.
If you are in the States, finding a specialist should be a lot easier to do than here.
Our National Health Service is very underfunded, especially in the Mental Health area. I believe that in this country (England, that is, not the whole of the UK), there are only 2 specialist places. I was referred to one of them in September, saw the professor in January, and am still waiting for a hospital admission (hopefully in 3 weeks` time). So, basically it`s taken 7 months already, and it`s likely to be another 3/4 weeks before I actually go into hospital for this treatment.
I`m sure that this won`t be the case anywhere outside of Britain.
Just thought I`d add that. Obviously, this is not much comfort if you do live here, but seeking an opinion from another psychiatrist will not take half as long, I`m quite sure.
Hope this is of some use. >
