Yes please call.: Some psychiatrists have slots for emergencies or can put you on a cancellation list. However, you will need to have some degree of commitment for tx to help. I hope that your plan includes some form of talking therapy.

See him early: An eating disorders crisis is certainly something to call your psychiatrist or psychologist about. Don't suffer alone. Reach out for help. Best wishes.

What is the best drug to help with daily racing thoughts. My psychiatrist has me on Luvox, but it seems like it stops working. Yes, I have called him and he just wants to keep upping the dose. I just would prefer a more effective drug.

Hi there I have been on anxiety medication called Paxil for almost a year. My GP prescribed it to me but I'm wondering if I should see a psychiatrist. The biggest issue is also affording it. What should be my next step? I still suffer quite a bit
