Anyone seen a psychiatrist?

[The M.I.C.]

I need life advice, I'm very very depressed. I need serious help or just someone around me who can help. The thing is I don't know if a psychiatrist is really going to help me with my issues, I'm not well and constantly angry and depressed about my life.

My parents want me to seek professional help but honestly my issues are so severe and depressing I don't know if it's going to help.

I really need young people to really guide me but most nikkas ain't built like that, I really need a mentor or role model who can talk to me and guide me when I have questions.

So has a psychiatrist helped anyone? I really don't think it's gonna help me.

We're typically not trained to mentor or to guide, our job is to probe and collect clues from your mind (mental state) by observation, conversational analysis and if needed..by testing levels of certain things in your body so that we can zero in on the issue, diagnose and then remedy.

You may find someone who is trained additionally in psychotherapy which teaches a more "cosy and bed side like" manner in dealing with patients but don't go expecting an in-depth and sincere connection with quacks. You might want to visit a therapist first, depending on their judgement they may then refer you to a psych if they feel your issues are beyond their skills.

You may just need therapy versus seeing a psychiatrist whom tend to be pill doctors ultimately.

The side effects are terrible breh..

I've seen everything from dudes growing breasts and there voices changing to people going into cardiac arrest. Then you have to keep going through an experimental phase where if one med makes you react badly then you have to start it all over again on a different med..lot of folks don't like it and then stop taking them which is even worse in some cases.

Medicine doesn't fix it, if you have depression you'll always have depression, that's why going to therapy is better because their goal is to teach you how to live with it. Some days everything is just bullshyt and a drug will help but it's only temporary.

Sounds like some extreme cases you talking about...doubt the majority experience anything that bad

Depends...If you have a genetic chemical imbalance in your brain no amount of talking is gonna fix that
I'd probably be dead right now if not for these anti anti depressants

They don't help you change? If they try to make you find peace with it then I won't waste my time.
