long term MH issues and moving house & changing GP
It's the changing GP part that concerns me.
Well, yes, moving house is stressful anyway.
I've been reading re the local GPs on NHS Choices, for the area I would move to, and it's depressing. It sort of puts me off.
You know when you move, and you register with a new GP at the new address?
Some say you have to wait for registration to be complete, and that takes some days, before you can get an appointment. What happens if you have a MH crisis before then? Obviously I'm not planning on one, but moving house is stressful...
Does anyone have any experiences, helpful or difficult or otherwise, to share?
Obviously I would ensure I have a good supply of my meds before moving/changing practices.
I'm not under the CMHT, so that's not an issue. Currently I see my GP once every 3 weeks for a MH check in, and refill of my prescription.
