Dr. Ivan Goldberg's website, "Depression Central," has a link for doctors in the United States who specialize in difficult-to-treat depressions. The problem with that list, however, is that it never seems to be updated, and most of the doctors on that list are so famous and in such demand that it's nearly impossible to get an appointment with them unless you have a referral from another doctor. And, if you do get to see these royal highnesses, it's likely that you'll see them once for a huge amount of money, and then they'll farm you out to one of their associates. Some of the doctors on the list are administrators (chairmen of departments) and some do research primarily, so they have very little time for clinical work. If you can get your previous doctor to help you with a referral, you'll be several steps ahead. Good luck!
