Question: I have depression, so how do I get put on medication.?
I have had mild-moderate depression for a while and have gone to a few counseling sessions at my college, but they never acted like I had a problem. I know I have depression and would like to be put on medication. Should I go some place else for help.?Health Question & Answer

I recommend you go and see some one other than a college councilor, I am not knocking them but going to see someone private is usually the right thing to do if you think you may have a problem. also most of the time any therapist will want you to try other things before they will put you on medication, there are different herbs out there, St Johns wart and Melatonin, which are mood stabilizers which have helped quite a few people with mild to moderate depression, and anxiety disorders. I have had Generalized anxiety disorder from age 7 and I am now 23, my psychiatrist tried everything imaginable before she put me on meds, but that was also because of my young age. My recommendation is go and see councilor/psychiatrist, they will be able to diagnose you and evaluate what you guys should do from there! I really hope this helps you hun, and good luck in finding the help that you need.Health Question & Answer
When I decided it was time to treat my depression, I sought advice from my General Practitioner/Internist. He referred me to a Psychiatrist that he felt would be able to treat me properly. This was one of the best decisions that I made on my way to recovery! Best of luck to you, as I know how difficult depression can be.Health Question & Answer
Yes, you should ask for help. Don't take medication, talk to your friends and family, if you have none, talk to a work colleague or complete stranger, talking about your issues is the best way of acknowledging that there is a problem.Health Question & Answer
