Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was diagnosed as having depression and ptsd by a doctor and was sent to a psychiatrist. After a few meeting he said I didn t need him I needed a psychologist. After a few meetings with him he is recommending we meet fewer times a month. I sleep all the time. I m down to only eating only one meal a day. Ive lost all my friends because I refuse to socialize. I dont go anywhere until its dark outside. Not even to take out my trash. I find myself crying a lot. I m just always unhappy. I feel like I have major problems with my life. Why are these professionals basically blowing me off?
Symptoms you are showing are that of moderate to severe depression, anti-depressants are very much needed. Make sure thyroid and blood parameters are good.
