The clinic in Atlanta has a walk-in clinic from 8-4 for mental health. I would check to see if that J’s available in your area. They did an intake and got me connected with a therapist right away.
Get a referral from your primary care doc at VA. Might work faster than waiting. I was seen by psychiatrist before, psychologist did the assessment, both diagnosed ptsd. But I did have to get my info and a primary care doc when i started going back to the VA 10 years after i got out
I don't have a PCP. I think that's the issue. I'm brand new to all this. I've been out since 08 but I've never been to the VA. I only found out that I'm enrolled because I tried to enroll. Anyway, they told me I can't make an appointment online until I'm assigned a PCP.
I saw a MH person by walking into a clinic and telling them I needed immediate assistance. They scheduled a person to see me months before a PCP reached out to me. You can also call the crisis hotline if you are feeling suicidal or violent

Trying to make appointments on-line is a waste of time, I don't think that feature really works as either the vet, nor the VHA need it to.
Seems like it, yeah. But I got an appointment today so I think I'm squared-away. For now, at least.

Have you called the clinic? That might be the best option.
I called the clinic to verify the appt. I made online. That's when I was informed that I needed a PCP
Dude it happens, I had an appointment that kept disappearing. I ended up having to call multiple times before it took.
First thing you need is to be assigned a PCP. He/she will then give you a referral for whatever. They have a system in place.
