@Pleasance I have the Danish girl, but have never actually watched it, but have watched many transgender films, including one by a group of local MTF's that made a documentary film, documenting their struggles with transition, I just wish the UK NHS and my family were more supportive, being an FTM, I received birthday cards with Sister and Daughter on, that quite upset and annoyed me, my family still seem to be referring to me as female, but one day I'll become who I'm happy with, and will have to accept who I am

Hey members,
By reading through many of the discussions, it is apparent that one of the most common, and most troubling, occurrences is the lack of finding a good doctor: one that cares, listens, and communicates effectively.
As with every condition, the quality and care of your health by your medical provider is of utmost importance.
Please join us and share your experiences and opinions on what you think about your psychiatrist or mental health provider and what qualities and characteristics you feel make up a "good" mental health provider?
For example:
Did (Does) he/she explain well, and talk to you about, your initial diagnosis, prognosis, potential symptoms, triggers, etc. regarding your mental health condition?
Did / Does he/she take time to discuss with you about medications, treatment options, etc.?
Did / Does he/she talk to you about activities and alternative methods to cope with the condition?
Did / Does he/she value and listen to your opinions/concerns and address your questions regarding your diagnosis, life with your diagnosis, etc?
Did / Does he/she respond quickly to your calls/emails? Do you feel you can reach out to them anytime if you are going through a difficult period?
What qualities and characteristics do you feel make up a "good" psychiatrist or mental health provider?
Share your thoughts on your mental health provider and the team. Feel free to mention the hospital, doctor, and/or location because your experience and opinion can help others.
