In this bowl many talk about therapists. I want to see someone but not sure if that is a psychiatrist, psychologist or counselor? Any advice?

I was given a direct contact to someone who’s a certified social worker and works in HR. She helped me find a therapist that I’m going to visit this coming week, and recommended a psychiatrist. Depending on the severity of what you’re going through, I think it’s best to start with a therapist. I actually first brought up my depression to my primary care doctor and she prescribed me some anti-depressants that have really changed me for the better. But now I’m seeking some additional help because while my mental health is better overall, the work is just dragging me back down

Thank you.

I have a counselor and a psychiatrist. My psychiatrist is just for meds and my counselor is for getting me to a point where hopefully I can get off meds (not that there is anything wrong with being on medication). Depending on severity - your primary care can prescribe you medicine, but psychiatrist is much more specialized.

I have started with a therapist/counselor, while some of my issues can get severe, for me personally, I wanted to start with someone just to lay it all out there and to find the cause/effect and see if I can find ways to cope without meds first.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao
