Hello. I moved to Canada two and a half years ago. I got my PR card finally about a month and a half ago. I have been trying to find a psychiatrist or family doctor since then, but they are either full or booked out for months. When I try to call telehealth doctors for referrals to psychiatrists, they refer me to the emergency room based on my symptoms. I refuse to go to the emergency room because I have bad PTSD from being bakeracted in Florida by the police and held in a mental hospital against my will for several weeks - twice. I keep telling them that if someone had just referred me to a psychiatrist to begin with, the 6 week wait would be over and I've be receiving care now. I'm so frustrated. My psychosis, PTSD, and OCDsymptoms have been intensely exacerbated by how deep my depression has become while I've been seeking treatment. I have medication but it does not seem to be working any longer; I also cannot stop it without a doctor's guidance, probably, so I have no idea if it's actually contributing to making things worse and I just can't do anything about it at this point.

Does anyone have any advice, support, help they can provide for my situation?
