[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks so much for the feedback. Can a GP actually treat depression? Can depression be treated with medicine alone? I swear I really don't know if there's anything I could even talk about with a therapist - I just figured maybe a psychiatrist would be the way to go in terms of diagnosis and medicine. And that seemed so overwhelming. It is daunting to think about talking to someone when I don't have much to say. I'd so much rather see a GP. And I realize my initial post wasn't really cohesive at all. What I mean by "confusion" was that it's confusing that I spend a lot of time wishing I was dead yet not feeling suicidal.[/quote]

Medication is highly specialized and you are much better off with a psychiatrist. I'm also not sure you understand what a therapist does with someone who has depression. Its not like "I never got along with my mother and my husband and I are having problems." It can be but in your case I think you desperately need some insight into how depression is affecting you. You need to unpack the hopelessness and the numbness and learn tools for dealing with it.[/quote]
