Hi guys,
I've been struggling with anxiety and depression for a while now and it has been getting worse to the point I decided it's time to get help. I was meeting with a therapist a few months ago at my college's clinic, and she told me I should meet with a psychiatrist to try medication. Now I've graduated so I don't have access to the university resources.
My insurance's list of in-network psychiatrists includes one from my university's health center (which I can't use now), a child psychiatrist, a rehabilitation center psychiatrist, and 10 psychiatrists at a practice connected to the hospital in my city. I called the hospital's practice which said they aren't taking new patients.
Can I just go to a General Practitioner or what am I supposed to do?
