The dude/dudette has seen your balls, probably stuck a finger in your butt, and knows all of your secrets anyway, so the barriers tend to be pretty transparent with them. Also most family doctors tend to have a pretty basic knowledge of phyciatric issues. Just book yourself in for a referral visit, and sit down and talk. He will need to know whats going on to refer you to a shrink anyway. Just my two cents on the matter.

Doctors really hate when people come to the them for councelling..but they dont mind recommending where to go for help. My Dr. told me she gets people come and tell her their problems..and shes not a shrink and its a waste of health care money! but do go if its to get a recommendation..also ..another place you can go is to the South Calgary Health place on Mcleod by Shawnessy..my dr. told me about that place.......u dont need an appointment either
