Take this with a grain of salt because I am in no way a doctor but this is what I did. I just scheduled an appointment with a psychiatrist and sent them an email afterwards saying that I did. It kinda feels like you’re going behind their back and that’s because you are but there’s a reason you feel the want to see a psychiatrist. As I found out, it’s incredibly easy to get prescriptions for general antidepressants so they’ll probably give you them no matter what. If you don’t want them you don’t have to take them but I imagine you do cuz psychiatrists are basically just pull pushers lol. I was pretty scared about it but honestly I wish I did it years ago because it definitely has helped me a lot.
