Suggest Treatment For Depression, Anxiety, Panic Disorder And PTSD
I started counseling 2 months ago, and was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, panic disorder and PTSD. I have suffered silently for over 30years, but my condition has gotten so bad that I have been unable to work for 5months and find it difficult to function on a daily basis. Why hasn't my counselor referred me to a doctor for meds. I will not see him again for a month. Is it my responsibility to ask him for a referral?

hello user, i understand your concerns . if you are having such troubling symptoms and dysfunction in your personal life and work , i think you require help of medicines like antidepressants and antianxiety molecules along with psychological therapy. you can directly visit any psychiatrist for the same for evaluation and management and do inform him about all the past treatment including behavioural therapy that you were undergoing. take care
