I asked my GP if I could be referred to a psychiatrist for my anxiety issues and depression. He refused and said he could refer me to a psychologist if I wanted. I had already been to a psychologist years ago when I was stressed from work and it was useless. All she got me to do was buy and read books on Bhuddist philosophy. It was interesting but didn't help at all.
Is seeing a psychiatrist effective? Worth the bother? It sounds as if anti depressants do work but are they worth the side effects?
I'm doing ok at the moment but when I'm down it feels like I'm in a hole that's hard to climb out of.
