Mental health?

My GP manages my Bi-Polar and checks my lithium levels.

Not many GPs I have seen here were willing to do that.

I lucked out by finding an older doctor who was comfortable with lithium but most doctors I met when I was on my search were unwilling to treat me.

I met a psychiatrist here a few times but he was not willing to prescribe me meds. Which is the opposite of how psychiatrists worked for me in the US. The US psychiatrists my HMO sent me to were all pill pushers.
