I know how you're feeling. It's so awful how often doctors seem to contribute to feelings of despair and demoralization, as yours is.
So there's no way you can get a good psychiatrist? Even if you waited until one of the other ones (besides the nasty one) has an opening? I don't know how the system there works (or even what system it is that you're stuck in).
One thought I have is that maybe other GPs would have different attitudes, since you've only seen two. I know how discouraging it is, but you have to keep trying. You probably know that already.
The only other thing I can suggest is that you look for advice everywhere you can think of -- talk to anyone you know who might have an idea or be able to help you work the system.
