The logistics

I met with my GP this week to discuss how unwell I have been.

Ultimately, we have agreed I should meet with the local psychiatrist for assessment and support. I have very little understanding about what this means or what will happen from here. I don't really understand why the mental health system is so disjointed (from the perspective of the patient). I find it difficult to accept that GPs have so little knowledge about what services are available for their patients.

I am, however, glad to have a GP who responds quickly and considerately, who does not actively judge or doubt me, and who accepts my concerns and my decisions.
