Seeing a psychologist?

[Anonymous]

So I have been depressed for a long time and I have decided to see a psychologist but the point is, I am really scared..
Have you ever been to one, if so how is it?

Anxiety and Depression Runs in my own family here, dear. And with some Assistance from the Best from the Rest and Maybe as well, a good Med that can Help you Get back in Order once more, it's Like Riding a Bike, that Once you Do it, you do it with Ease Every time.
Good luck and Everything will Fine. You have Taken the First baby steps. xx

*If They see you may need a Med, they may Refer you to a Psychiatrist then. xx

I've been to one once. It really wasn't too bad, but it was still awkward. I think it would've gotten better had I established a relationship with him and continued to go. It takes me a bit to open up, so it was weird sharing details of my personal life with him.

The doc you are looking for is a psychiatrist. And yes I've seen one because everything in my life is failing now.

Okay but how is it seeing one?

[Jeb2016]

You pay 300/hour and he tells you basically what you know already but makes you feel 10x worse.

Wow that made me feel so much better.. ._.

[Jeb2016]

I tell the truth and only the truth. Don't worry I can make you feel better though what's depressing you?

[Asker]

None of your business really..

Sorry I was just trying to help.

Psychologists handle much of the same counseling. The difference is that they cannot prescribe medication, and for many problems, people are better off without the medicine.

I've been to one and it's not as bad as you think. They are very helpful and understanding.
