Has anyone on here seen a psychiatrist? I’m going through a lot of issues that cause anxiety/ depression. Most of my issues are things I honestly have no control over. My job (under a contract until June), money problems, sick family member, etc. I just don’t know what to do. My anxiety is getting worse by the day. I guess I’m asking- do you guys think a psychiatrist can help you work through situations that are out of your control?

If you have seen one- tell me how it works. What’s the initial appointment like? Is it uncomfortable? Does it help? How often do you go? Is it worth the money?

I feel like if I go to my regular doctor, I will just be handed an RX.
