Question:
Ive been like this for like 3 years,I decided to do something about it. But who should I contact. All I know that I am patient at some family clinic in dowt town. Should I go there and they are gonna direct me to psychologist or therapist?
Answers:
You really should go to a mental health facility so you can get the right kind of treatment. Your primary care provider probably does not specialize in anti-depressants and such. Sometimes medicine is not the answer. You should talk to a mental health therapist first and see if medication is right for you and if they think it is, then they will refer you to a psychiatrist in their agency.
People always try to turn to medicaiton first, but all medications have side effects and it is much better if you can have therapy rather than rely on medication only. But sometimes certain people need medicaion also, which is not a bad thing in any way.
yeh its best to go and see your doctor first and see what advice he can give you. If he does think you have depression i'm sure he will point you in the direction of a specialist. Good luck
