In August I tried to get ahold of my friend’s psychiatrist. I literally left a dozen messages. I asked if I could be called back to be put on a list. I asked if I could be called back to be told they weren’t accepting new clients.

My friend intervened on my behalf in September and was told I didn’t have a voicemail set up (untrue) and to have me call them if I was still interested in their services. Finally, in late September, someone from their office left me a message.

I did not return it.

I did, however, call the office where my son sees a therapist, yesterday, and asked to see a therapist and to do a med review.

So, a step?
