I don't know what general physicians are doing, giving illogical clueless advise to a lady suffering from depressive symptoms. One says a psychologist will treat depression and the other says you require counseling and medications will solve your problem. Its like ' if some is suffering from chest pain, how ridiculous it would be to advice him to go to a physiotherapist or massage center or advicing him Heart bypass surgery or giving him pain killers to solve his ' problem'.
Physicians don't read psychiatry though they are supposed to and spread illogical misconceptions and wrong advice.
You should go to a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist, get assessed and if you are diagnosed with depressive illness, take appropriate treatment as advised.
Very few handful psychiatrists are trained in textbook defined Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. So if you are an ideal candidate for psychotherapy after you have been assessed and diagnosed, kindly confirm the training of the therapist.
Advise to doctors and physicians, kindly don't give advise to poor suffering patients, if you are not qualified and trained. Your incorrect and half trained knowledge will get exposed.
Next Steps
visit a psychiatrist or a clinical psychologist for assessment.
