In reply to How do i find a doc who will treat psychosis?, posted by novelagent on June 15, 2012, at 11:14:10
I can't answer that question, but I wanted to say it's not just psychosis and you're not alone. I have a very complicated and long case of treatment resistant depression with (guess what? Rejection sensitivity!) and doctors refuse to treat me.
Make absolutely sure that you can talk to the doctor and write something up about yourself in as much detail as you can and ask if the doctor is willing to take your case, so you don't waste your time. After a while it's awful, but it's better than those expensive timewasting first intakes.
The route seems to be either get someone who is an "expert" who is likely to not want to treat you because they don't need to, but can, or get someone who is awful and you tell them what to prescribe you. At this point I'd just opt for the latter, since I'm guessing most people on here have had the feeling they know way more about pscyh meds than most doctors...
