[quote=Anonymous]I need help! My questions are all around helping an adult child with depression. My poor girl has had her share of trauma and a recent attempt to end things. She's beautiful and smart and the world seems to be too much for her. I'm broken and almost dead on the inside myself and i need to survive to help her. Are there any psychiatrist worth recommending that have training in adolescents and young adults? (Her previous one, Dr. C at Washington Nutrition and counselling group was absolutely terrible.)  We have bcbs and need to find a provider that takes insurance as were going out of pocket/out of network for a dbt program for her. She's been in therapy and it's mostly been crap. Therapists that just phone it in, don't take notes, ask the same questions repeatedly leaving her to wonder if they just forget or weren't even paying attention the first time they asked. It's so sad how many she's tried and hasn't liked them. fwiw, I share her sentiment. I haven't found one for myself that I thought was great.

I have done my share of digging and just when you think you've found a good one there are awful reviews. A consulting psychiatrist told us about Washington Interventional Psychiatry which has doctors with great bios charges $600 for the first consultation and $350 for each follow up and has some meh reviews.

I've just read about TMS for antidepressant resistant depression and curious if anyone has tried this in their family and has any feedback? We tried ketamine and after her third session, she tried to end things the next day, and I pushed her to try this.

Life shouldn't be this hard and joyless. thanks for any leads or hope.[/quote]
