If you're asking whether she'll prescribe you anti-depressants, probably not--she'll probably send you to your primary care doctor. But keep in mind that anti-depressants (as much as I love them!) are only part of the picture. You may want to see a therapist, too. It really helps, even if your depression is largely "chemical" (that is, even if you think that it's a hormone problem and your life is otherwise fine). A therapist can help you learn to manage your stress and your depression symptoms in a more effective, pro-active way.
Of course, meds are often necessary. I use them, too. |
