It is VERY frustrating for us Brits.. we're faced with much longer waits than our US counterparts as a rule (my 2 year wait for a psychiatrist was incredibly hard), very different med regimes, and often different med names.
I'd love to see a board where I could connect with UK people.. Though I can see if you set up a UK one, the french will want a French one, the Canadians a canadian one etc..
I think its hard for the Americans here to uunderstand the problems we do face.. we say "I'm having x problem with y drug" and in the US it would be treated with a further drug, where as here in UK they are very unwilling to prescribe more than 2 drugs at once.. and for example, Wellbrutin isn't available to us.. Its a very different world here with regards to psychiatric care.
