If you don't get on with your current psych could you ask to be sent for a 2nd opinion? Perhaps your GP could advise you on this?
I know some doctors arn't good in the ways they do things but there are some decent ones out there, just a case of being patient and perservering till you find the right one.

That is beautifully and wisely said.

	PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student. I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out. I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included. Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
