I cannot say that I understand what you are going through right now, but I truly wish you all the best.

We are really trying to help with the issue of access just as you reference here. Wait times are too high to see a psychiatrist so 1) how can we unlock a latent supply of these professionals (by way of their excess time) and 2) in what cases can we substitute these professionals with others whose supply is greater and who can provide similar functions.

Depending on the state that you live in, a psychiatric NP can get you that prescription at a lower cost to you and, more importantly, quicker. We want to allow other organizations to do that for their patients using our providers.
