When you go to a psychaitrist, they will only try and dope you up. They never try to find your problem and work on it, they only wanna hide the problem with their meds. And going this route is bullcrap cause SA and depression arent really a biological problem. There may be some problems like these but this can be achieved through proper sleep and diet, exercise etc.
Now, if you go to a psychologist/therapist/couselor, they will try to discover your problems and work through them (if they are a good), but YOU still have to put it into practice.
No matter what you learn its useless unless you use it. In my experience psychaitrists are a waste of time. Ive never been to a therapist, but again, its really up to you to do all the work for yourself. In my experience most doctors arent that compassionate, theyre lazy, and really a waste of time and money.
Its ultimately up to you to take charge of your life. If you put your life in their hands they are just gonna do wha they want and fool you around and waste your time. You can get the same info out of self help books as going to a therapist, no matyter where you get your ideas, like I say, its useless unless you use it. So the sooner you realize this the better.
Tking your life into your hands would be learning as much about your disorders, and using all ideas available. Theres no quick cures, no fast results. What do you learn at your therapy? Do you use any of it? Get a good self help book. If you really use this info you will get better.
