So here's the situation. I'm currently in my 3rd bout of major depression in 8 years- perimenopause likely a factor in this one, though I 've had spells of low mood all my life. Am currently on 2 different ADS (+ HRT) but not helping so much this time. Basically, I'm stuck in the past and need therapy/ meds/ neuromodulation to help me move on. Have done counselling and behavioural activation (form of CBT) previously, but they didn't help much. I think part of the problem is I suspect there's other stuff going on with me- possible ADHD and/or ASD, being ridiculously aversive to criticism and risk- that gets in the way.
I tried to go through Psychiatry UK, as one of their psychiatrists looked as if he would be ideal ie a special interest in how the patient's past affects their present, and PUK also deals with neurodiversity. Unfortunately I ran into tech problems (PUK uses its own videocalling platform rather than one of the mainstream ones eg Zoom) that it became obvious I wasn't going to get help to resolve- so I need either an in-person service in London, or if remote that runs on a common videocalling application (which I know are fine as we use them from home already!)
