Question:
am currently suffering from OCD. I am English and living in Amsterdam The Netherlands.

I am looking for support groups in The Netherlands, or ways to setup a group myself.I am also looking for information on any one-to-one facilities [i.e.,Psychologist, Psychiatrist] in The Netherlands.

Answer: Hi and welcome to ASAP!I was born and bred in Amsterdam and now live in The Hague.The best way to go in Amsterdam is probably to contact a RIAGG by phone,explain that you are suffering from OCD and would like to see a psychiatristfor futher diagnosis and medication and a clinical psychologist for*Cognitive Behavioural Therapy*. There always is a waiting list unfortunatelybut every Amsterdam RIAGG will have both psychiatrists and psychologists whowill work closely together.I don't know anything about RL support groups but they may well exist. Theymight be able to inform you on that too at the RIAGG.
