Yes it may be unfair to wait any longer than a week, but resourses are streched and more people get refered to mental health centers and there are less people to deal with them, i think its also unfair to have a team on 24/7, there are alot of helplines and other resources you can use.
Shadow-light, it doesnt matter where you live, it depends on your local area, ive been told it can be up to 18 months in the places i live in scotland.
But if you need help in the meantime why not look at free resources and other things that are out there? Also i dont agree with the sever depression, how they refere you depends on your state of your mind when you see them, if you say you are extremly suicidal then you will get a referal within a week, if you just say you are depressed you will go to the end of the list, just how it works.
