On that "try different treatment modalities" note, for talk therapy (which is very often not handled by a psychiatrist, but by a psychologist), don't be afraid to find someone else if you feel your therapist isn't helping. Having been in and out of therapy for half my life, I've had therapists I really related to, and ones who actively made me feel worse. That being said, it can take a few sessions to figure out whether you're going to get along with your therapist. I recognize that many people might simply not have other options, and it can take months to find a replacement, but trust me when I say that sunk cost fallacy thinking of "oh, it took me 2 months to get my first appointment, and now I need to find someone else who I'll also have to wait 2 more months to see" is a trap.

Absolutely. Also note that any primary care doctor or psychiatrist will have a list of psychologists or therapists to refer.

Making medical appointments, especially therapy appointments, has never been easier now that Coronavirus has pushed everyone to adopt virtual health appointments. You can find a provider and book appointments from an app on your phone in most cases. The appointments are handled virtually as well. No need to pick up a phone to schedule something. No need to get in the car to drive somewhere.
