Question:
Answers:
Hi,
I went to see a counsultant psychiatrist for the first time last week. I am 20. But it was to get a second opinion on what anti-depressants to try me on.
He just asked questions like, how do you feel? how long have you felt this way? where and who do you live with? what's yoru relationship to or with them? How is the relationships between your parents? Do you get on with them? Do you have any brothers and sisters? are you still at school? do you like it? what do you do? have you many friends? What made you decide to go to your gp? etc
basic questions about your history, the appointment can last up to an hour and a half when it's the first appointment
best of luck!

personal history;how long felt like this;wot in ur opinion started this,family relations,love life.To feel low for a short time is natural,all of us have ups and downs.Some people can mask the feelings better than others.The best remedy is having a few close best friends or family to talk it through.They will help,don't be afraid to ask.You're young,control it and enjoy yourselfGood luck
At 18 it is best to stay away from AD if you can. Therapy would be a very good idea.
They will ask you family history, how you feel, ask you about your mood, relationships to others, anger issues, etc.
At your age an AD could do more harm than good. If you can fight the depression without pills, then more power to you. Mild depression is a real issue, but doctors are to fast to throw pills at us. You can get therapy, or fight it yourself. Over the course of a few months the depression would lift by itself anyway, if you are a mild case.
he will ask you about yourself and basically take the lead from you. You have done well asking for help. Good luck and hope everything turns out well for you
He will ask you about your lifestyle etc, and general things such as if you're on any medication, if you drink/take drugs.
He will also ask about your mental health, things like if you are suicidal etc.
