    Anyone have any idea how long it typically takes to get an appointment after a psych referral?

    I'm really low at the moment and feeling a little desperate for help.

    It varies from area to area - do you have the number of the unit that you’ve been referred to so you can ask them how long 8ts likely to be? In the meantime, there are crisis helplines you can call and we’ve listed the details. In the UK and Ireland http://www.dealingwithdepression.co....UK-amp-Ireland and worldwide helplines are http://www.dealingwithdepression.co....ness-Worldwide
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Thanks Paula - All my GP said was that I'll get a letter, "probably after Christmas". That's all I have to cling to. My wife is very supportive, but I just hate feeling this miserable, helpless, joyless and generally "what's the point in living". I' totally conscious of it and have complete self awareness, but just not the power to do anything about it.
