Psychiatrist recommendation for PND
Hi everyone,
Can anyone recommend a good (preferably Western) psychiatrist? I was diagnosed with PND and I have been to a GP who referred me to a psychiatrist (the only one with an appointment available) but she I am not comfortable with her as she doesn't listen (which is surprising as that is part of her job isn't it?). She wants me to go on meds which i have come to terms with but the more I told her my DS is exclusively breast fed and I would need to first ween him off before going on meds, the more she pushed me to call her back in 2 days to start on the meds. Also she offered absolutely no alternatives and didn't want to listen when I asked if there are meds that are safe whilst breastfeeding. She is pushing me to take Cymbalta for the PND and after I asked her about breastfeeding, she told me its not advisable but its my choice to go on breastfeeding whilst on the medication - i read up about this drug and it STRONGLY advises you not to breastfeed while taking it. Surely the doctor should have strongly advised against breastfeeding and not just shaken her head and say oh yes, u can do it if you want!
Sorry about the long post and going off on a tangent but I just needed to vent...
TIA
