[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 312829, member: 84"] Janet Your post caused me to look into it here. Just in case as Nichole has used county mental health services in the past, and may need it in the future. Our county mental health wasn't great to begin with. Nichole's last psychiatrist there was excellent. But she was doing it as a "pay back" sort of thing for something in her past. A play it forward type thing. She's extremely expensive in private practice. And she did a bang up job at county mental health. The country told her they were attempting to hire 2 other psychiatrists. She held out for 2 yrs grossly overworked ontop of her own practice in Dayton. She'd spend 14 hr days at country mental health cuz she was the [B][I]only[/I][/B] psychiatrist. The psychiatrist Nichole had there before her was a moron and an imbecile. I knew more about mental health than he did. He had some guideline book he kept in his hand and everytime Nichole would utter a few sentences.....he'd thumb through his book (I always though of it as his crib sheet) then write something in her chart. The one they have now.......OMG. You don't even want to know. And funds have cut back more so that guy they're not even telling they're attempting to hire more docs. My psychiatrist, private practice, tried to help out by offering pay according to income to patients who needed it. He didn't want a patient to drop due to financial strain or loss of insurance. He'll also accept welfare insurance. Spoke to him when mother in law was in the psychiatric ward. He's majorly concerned about the number of patients already going without treatment and medications. Kids go to county mental health. There are no pediatrician psychiatrists unless you go to Dayton or Cincy......and in the listings I looked at.....darn few there. If our county mental health closes it's gonna get ugly around here fast! Schools will be overwhelmed cuz when they have issues with a kid, they get sent to county mental health for an evaluation. Standard procedure. ugh [/QUOTE]
