A psychiatrist is considered a specialist, so unless you're paying privately you'll likely need a referral. The best starting place would be your family doctor. If you don't have one, or he/she can't get you the help you need, contact Mental Health and Addictions at the hospital. The area that does mental health intakes and referrals to psychiatrists etc. is called the community response unit. Their number is (250) 565-2668.
