I'm finding BetterHelp very good. The first counsellor I was matched with was not ideal but switched and got a new one who is great. I'm having less success in finding online psychiatrists. Doctors on demand is us only and the few I have located in Canada are not available to my province.

Also wondering if there are any online doctors or psychiatrists who offer services and would be able to prescribe drugs.

Thanks, I was just looking at Talkspace. I'll check both of them out!

Anyone know of online based therapy available in Newfoundland, Canada? I'm trying to find something but haven't yet located anything I can access in this province.

Worse. He thinks my mother (who lives in our downstairs apartment) is out to entrap him and discredit him and talks behind his back all the time to people about how awful he is to live with, so he now stays in the bedroom all day with the door shut. Just about the only time we talk is when he...

Thanks. I appreciate everyone's concern and understand the lack of support for a treatment as radical as ibogaine.

I have talked to him about going back on Cymbalta. He doesn't realize how much it did help him, yes it didn't eliminate his symptoms but made them easier to deal with. But he is in such a bad state now that he won't consider going to a doctor to refill his prescription. And I don't want him to...

Sorry I'm Not trying to be snappy. I said I'm open to any other solutions. I'm scared about the Ibogaine thing. I would rather have some other potential solution if one exists. Admitting someone with the trust issues he has against his will into an institution that is one of the triggers of his...

I live 6 hours drive from the capital of my province which is a town of 250,000. I don't live in an average part of Canada with normal services.

It's not that they don't have forced admittance to a hospital here. It's that they have no beds available in the hospital. I know an older lady who has severe depression and developing other issues like dementia and the inability to feed herself who went to the doctor for three weeks saying she...

This might be a simple solution if I didn't live in a country with terrible health care availability and in a part of that country with abysmal health care. This is not the USA. I'm from the USA. I know what a normal hospital or clinic is like. This is like a third world country here where I...

There's no way they would admit him to hospital here against his will. Very unlikely they would do it if he went up asking for it. Hospitals are maxed out here and they wouldn't do him any good anyway...they would drug him up on whatever and he would immediately stop taking it as soon as he got...

Um I did say he wouldn't even go to a family doctor. Seriously if I suggested him checking into a hospital he would laugh in my face. This is my problem. I need solutions outside the medical community. If you're not willing to help me with that then don't bother posting. I understand your...

He won't go to anyone for help. We basically have no decent mental health services available where we live anyway.
