Part of a bigger rant really (I feel a blog coming on). I have PND, anxiety and panic attacks which can't be that unusual can it?
Yet I've spent a year being referred from service to service (three GPs, private counsellor, psychiatrist, family counselling and, worst, social services for which I received an apology) with no-one actually taking me on or offering treatment.
This GP was the most recent I've seen and finished the appointment by googling flicking elastic bloody bands as a cure for panic attacks, clicking the first result and printing off the page without reading it saying, "I've not used this site before but here, take it and read this."
I know there are frequent news reports about inadequate mental health support but this is properly taking this piss, is it not?

AIBU?
AIBU to be shocked at my GP openly googling my MH symptoms, meds and treatments?
