Dr Blount has been my Phyciatrist for way over 15 yrs . Long ago he had an office in Milledgeville as well as Macon in order to serve the many of us who may not have transportation to Macon.
I personally keep him in my nightly prayers for continued good health . There's a big reason for this . Before finding him I had gone thru so so many other Drs. / Clinics you name it around my area only to be mid diagnosed, or partly diagnosed, always given the wrong meds. The therapy was not as it should have been so I hold my mental health in his hands - literally !!
I have PRSD, Chronic Depression, A panic disorder that's off the chain , etc however all of my life I also strived to be an over achiever while secretly my fear of being around ppl was horrible! That was hard with me providing home nursing care until my RA became so bad I was told by my PCP to stop using my body so much start using my brain . I then was under tremendous pressure to make this happen . With constant help from Dr Blount ONLY I was able to begin ( from the company in which employed me , believed in me but did NOT know of my mental health ) to open my own office in Macon with many titles , Office Manager - Programs CoOrdinator every thing that needed a title I got it . We grew from about 7 clients to a full capacity office serving 7 surrounding counties !!! Most of the time employing apps 80 employees out in the field titles CNAs, Respiratory Therapists , an RN then as I grew so did my tensions , my ptsd etc BUT Dr Blount adjusted my meds. spent a great deal of time helping me to allow my greatest joys stay alive , which was serving ppl with spinal cord injuries, head injuries, then many different diagnosis !!! I could never have grown to this level had it not been for DR BLOUNT !!! I have had all this since late teens, had seen MANY Drs who seemed to want me over medicated, using me like a test on the many antidepressants, other drugs that silence my brain so I struggled not only with my mental health but also my dreams of serving THE PEOPLE THRU NURSING CARE . Even had many tell me to just apply for SSI for I just never would be able to work- Dr BLOUNT did not see this in me , rather he saw me as who I was : a woman with challenges but even more so dreams to care for those with physical disabilities!!! He quickly developed goals, through out all the meds from another facility , set up my medication as well as therapy so that I could go ahead with my dreams which I successfully did for years until my physical health became so bad it was just not realistic for me to work and have my 2 grandchildren I had gotten custody of as babies - that's right tiny babies !! I would continue to work well after these little Blessings became school were well into late elementary for one beginning middle school for the other . YO SEE I WOULD NOT HAVE EVER BEEN ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY RAISE THESE CHILDREN MUCH LESS FOLLOW MY EMPLOYMENT DREAMS HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THIS AMAZING DR BLOUNT ! About a year ago I lost my youngest daughter whose children I had raised with her very close most of the time in our lives for she loved her children very much she had bi polar 1 with phycotic episodes as well as other things that prevented her from mothering these children full time . She was a Momas girl too ! Well I was the mother who prayed each night for The Lord to never take one of my 3 girls however the unthinkable happened, she died in her sleep ! It took THREE MONTHS before we got an answer as to why . DR BLOUNT once again as he has so very many times in the past has become my lifeline !! I am still struggling with the loss . I just trust that no matter what mental health illnes' anyone has from any walk of life will benefit as I have from Dr Blount for he is truly amazing at his calling . You will be treated as though you are his top priority regardless of who is in the waiting room , you will see in his eyes the desire to get you properly diagnosed first , start you on the medication he , after a COMPLETE history from you , to ensure that your suffering will be controlled, proper therapy recommended, then he will despise how often you are to see him until stable !!! There's hope out there ppl !! No shame , just a great Dr who was called to this type of doctor so if you have been passed along by drs, feel no one will ever get you stable to live a normal life call his office for an appt !!! Don't give up on yourself, let him do his God given work with you , to show you that life really is supposed to be abundantly lived !! Good Luck and YES I am just another patient there but I do NOT FEEL LIKE JUST ANOTHER PATIENT - THE FRIENDLY STAFF, THIS PROFESSIONAL PHYCIATRIST, IS FOR REAL !! Good luck to all . Teresa J.
