Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

So has anyone heard of this deal where psychiatrists hire nurse practicioners to handle all their new patients? They are basically subbing out their patients to nurses (under their supervision of course)
One of the many shrinks i tried to get into see in Santa Cruz (Well they are all full) actually called me back after two weeks!!! but it wasn't him, it was his nurse saying she could treat me and of course =The Doctor Isn't Seeing New Patients.
Remember those pyramid schemes, where you send like 10 of your friends a dollar, then they send ten of their friends a dollar, and so on, and the guy at the top of the pyramid just collects money.
Hey I'm just calling like I see it!!
So basically that EXHAUSTS EVERY possible PDoc I can see in Santa Cruz which means I will have to make the 40 minute drive to San Jose if I decide to go the Medicine Route. Luckily I have the name of someone good, on my insurance, and is taking insurance. It will just be a longer drive.
Gonna see how I do this week and make a call next Monday!

It can not be diagnosed in 20 minutes. But there are also now a whole range of treatment options and yet this guy just prescribed Lexapro on top of my already taking Wellbutrin, which I told him was not working. He said "It's working, you just don't realize it".
Then I told my psychologist about it. She said that he was an idiot. She had been seeing me for 4 weeks and said I clearly do not have that disorder. She actually laughed. 6 weeks with my psychologist did more for me than any drug I have ever taken.
Too bad the money ran out. I have Medicare and Medicaid but I can not find a therapist that takes either. The only Pyschiatrist I could find that takes them is the QUACK QUACK that I saw.
P.S. He also "prescribed" AA meetings once a week because I told him I thought alcohol was a huge problem in our society and that even one drink is too much.
