    Accessing mental health services in the UK is a nightmare though.

      Was in a deep depression. I have good Healthcare and tried to make an appt with a psychiatrist to take care of it.

      6 month waiting list… I thought US Healthcare was supposed to be better than this?

      Still cost me $300 when I finally got in too since it’s a specialist… Fml

      It’s also a nightmare in much of the US if you are not rich or happen to have excellent insurance. Having to wait six months to receive a bill you can’t afford isn’t great.

        Agreed. I’m just pointing out that it’s not lack of access to mental health services that’s preventing gun deaths in the UK, it’s lack of access to guns.

      It’s basically impossible in the US.

      I couldn’t leave the house for 5 years becuase I was terrified of people, and when I finally went to see a GP for help all I got was “well I can’t sell you a pill to fix it so I’m not going to do anything”.
