Suggest Treatment For Depression

I went through a horrible divorce 8 years ago. I have been to therapists for depression, help with divorce, etc. i recently started having increasingly worse anxiety attacks. I find that I am losing sleep, waisting time during the day obsessing over weird things like knowing without a doubt i have cancer, hormone disease, diabetes, etc. I cannot get these thoughts out of my head!!! I have tried meditation, but cant keep these self judging thought out long enough to count to 4. Last night, I woke my husband up to talk it out... I talk about nonsense, tangents, almost for the sake of talking. This happens all the time as well. Its like I need to let him, and anyone around, know exactIy what s happening in my brain. I am seriously thinking I might be in the middle of a developing OCD disorder. Is that possible, and what kind of mental health therapist should I see? Ohhh the waves of anxiety even chatting right now.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for using HealthCareMagic.

I can understand your stressful situation. You are feeling panic attacks as well as apprehensive thoughts of having some disease.
You need to consult psychiatrist soon.Your doctor will take complete history of your problem, your physical examination would be done and then only diagnosis can be made.
Do not judge on your own about what you have or not. It is work of a doctor.
If there is nothing to worry, psychiatrist will you counsel how to get rid of these thoughts and if medicine required , it will be prescribed.
Hope I have answered your query, late me know if any confusion.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki
