I really need your advice! I'm rated 100% service connected for Chronic Severe PTSD, and Major Depressive Disorder with a future Exam in 2019. I'm currently seeing a Mental Health Doctor at the VA. This guy is a negative piece of crap. I'm willing to pay out of my pocket to see someone outside of VA. Would it hurt me in the long run if i see a civilian mental health Doctor? I don't think i can deal with this guy too much longer. Please help!!

I requested a new PCP and thought there may be reprucussions but there weren't. They ask you why you want to switch, just keep it simple And not personal.

Maybe go to VA PTSD group and go also a therapist who is private. These VA doctors don't have time for you and change all the time. You need a long term relationship with a therapist. VA is ok for get

Team, I want to thank you all for your opinion. I'm going to look into getting another psych. I will also look into getting a civilian psych as well. Thanks
