You need to see a psychiatrist, you're almost certainly depressed. I don't know how it works where you live, but do you have a family doctor you always go to? If so, they will be able to set up a therapy session for you.

 

If i were you i would go out and try and have some fun. Go to college and be away from your parents for a bit, meet new people and new woman and see if this helps you. If this doesn't help and things do get worse, then yes, a therapist is probably a good idea. My point is though, don't go right to therapy as this may just be a passing thing and you do not want to waste your money if it is. Best of luck bro.

 

Be yourself. You shouldn't talk to somebody whose job is to, bluntly put, change you. Self-exploration, try new things, enjoy life. If you'd like, feel free to shoot me a private-message and I'd love to assist you further.

 

All the psychiatrist is going to do is put him on the same antidepressants a normal doctor would put him on... except they will charge hell of a lot more. Go to a family doc like it was mentioned and only if he thinks that therapy is needed then it would be wise to go.

Its the root i went. Still no answers... a good psychiatrist have very long wait lists. But its worth the wait if they solve your issue rather than going to someone whos just going to say "yeah you are fine" or just keep dragging it out and just pumping you full of shitty meds.

 

If you need a psychiatrist, go call Ron Artest...

Anyways, maybe you should play a sport or get a hobby as it could help take your mind off things.

 

This, Their you could get sufficient medicine/ help goodluck.

Stay strong brah. Know how you feel, been through it. I dont think you need to see a psychiatrist, they cost too much and usually are shit. best advice is to see a life counsellor, talk deeply with a relative you can connect to. THINK POSITIVE, what ever negative thoughts you have chuck it aside. I know its not easy to do but relax, breathe deeply and think of something happy.

goodluck

 

Not really the case. A lot of doctors are steering away from the route of medication and looking more in the direction of cognitive behavioural therapy, which is what I was referred for by my psychiatrist a few weeks ago.

I don't think psychiatrists are as bad as people make them out to be. I was dubious about them before I actually went to see one, but I changed my mind. Psychiatric help is very useful to seek when you feel the way you are feeling. Personally, I don't think you're suffering from depression, as that usually manifests itself in a more extreme way than what you've described.

 

see a doctor, ask to be prescribed marijuana and that will help hopefully

 

I'm not sure where the hell you're from, but as far as I'm aware that's only prescribed to sufferers of multiple sclerosis.

 

It should be noted that psychiatrists and psychologists are very different things.

A psychiatrist is a doctor who specialises in diseases of the mind.

A psychologist, on the other hand, is usually not a trained doctor and cannot prescribe medication. Due to this lack of qualifications quackery is common in this field.
