| Comment | I've been experiencing bouts of depression since I was a teenager, crippling can't get out of bed lose couple stone in weight sleep twenty hours a day depression. Not all bouts are like that but the worst are and its threatened to ruin my life (dropped out of school, college, university at least once each before eventually going back and doing what I had to do). There's also some other stuff.
I guess what I'm looking to get is something to stabilise my mood, the anti depressants I've been getting on and off for the past ten years dont really change much for more than a few weeks. My GP is great, they listen for ten minutes prescribe and refer me to the mental health clinic, but the clinic itself is extremely slow, and has just stopped contacting me. I feel ok just now, but know that in the next month or so I won't, so I promised myself that I would see someone to try and sort this. I was off work for six months a year ago, and luckily I was able to come back but I obviously don't want to do that again.
In your experience which fits? I'll be honest I said psychiatrist out of ignorance, I don't care who it is if they are the right person. |
