I'm depressed and I don't know what to do?

I went to my doctor roughly speaking a month ago and he gave me a referral to a psychiatrist, I told him something like my OCD and how I am depressed off and on...at the time it was'nt unpromising, but after that and now its getting worse and worse. I don't know what to do...I phoned the doctors organization and the lady confirmed the psychiatrist organization received the referral and would give me a phone up when they can take me as they a busy. She said she can't impart me a name, address, phone number or anything.

So should I be in motion back to the doctor, or simply wait?

I'm startled to go on medication because I don't want to be a computer-generated happy, I want to find out what's bothering me and truly fashion myself happy. I don't want to be positive but with adjectives the same things contained by my life that once made me depressed...seize what I mean?

Answers:    Honestly, I wouldn't ever give somebody a lift medication for it either. I'm contained by the same boat as you, except give panic disorder onto the depression. You trying to bring with a psychiatrist is a dutiful decision. I would stir back to your doctor and enlighten he/she that this isn't a matter that can dawdle. You need help out, and you need it very soon. If they don't help I would walk on yahoo or google and type in cognitive behavioral psychiatric therapy. That is what you need to receive you through this without medication. I am currently seeing a psychiatrist for this and it is helping me understand things better. I would also progress to the library or local bookstore and buy some books on depression. If you know what causes your depression, it will comfort you get over it, or at least possible its helping me.


Email me if you have any question! =)

Go see your regular doc and get the depression treated. You do not own to suffer with it while you hang around for the psych doc to see you for your OCD. Your regular doc can handle depression and it's treatment. Also when you see your doc ask you doc to call for the psych clinic to see if they can't get you surrounded by sooner. Sometimes if a doc calls they can gain you in quicker.
