Hello from Australia


Recommended Posts

Hello, welcome to CB.

I don't have 10 dogs, rather I have 7!

I do not think the US has PDRSS, and what government care there is is limited and not always satisfactory.

I look forward to getting to know you, again welcome to CB.

Vivian, many of us didn't know a lot about mental illness and the various meds until we started hanging out here. A big part of what we do is to encourage people to be active in their own treatment/care. Bring a list of questions to a doctor appointment. Take notes. Look up meds on the internet and check interactions with your other medications for non-MI conditions. Observe side effects and if they are too severe, see your doctor and talk about alternative medications.

You can ask people about their insurance and private vs. public: some people will answer and some won't. I'm not familiar enough with the system in Australia to comment intelligently, but we have several Aussie members and I'm sure they will be happy to talk to you about navigating the system.

Be sure to check out our blog section---that's a good place to talk about your life and to ask questions of others about how they deal with various things. We also have a forum called "The Health Care System Sucks," and you can post questions there if you want to.
