In a perfect world we could all find a great pdoc. In the meantime, beg, borrow, steal or cajole somebody
to go with you as your advocate. Grab the likeliest person you can find. Relative, friend, pastor --
even try looking for NAMI [National association for the mentally ill] and make them be your advocate.
they don't actually have to do much but make the points you're too bummed out to, and insist on the
proper treatment algorithm and dosage... Sometimes just having a concerned person with you makes all
the difference.
possible?
good luck.
