Hi
Your symptoms—chronic sadness, anxiety, crying, emotional withdrawal, and sleeping to escape—suggest a combination of depression and anxiety that needs attention. Since you’re feeling overwhelmed and having thoughts of giving up, it’s best to consult both:
• A psychiatrist for medical support (to stabilize your mood and anxiety)
• A psychologist for therapy to address the root causes and build coping skills
You don’t have to go through this alone—both can work together to help you feel like yourself again.
Take therapy, and you can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

A psychologist will help you talk through these difficulties, understand and teach coping skills. If symptoms are not managed through talk therapy alone, you may see a psychiatrist who may suggest medication for these symptoms. In general, both therapy and medication together have the best outcomes
