I don't want to go through alot of hassle and see a therapist, I feel if I have the medicine then I will be fine. Is there a procedure you have to go through in order for you to get the pill or can you just go to a doctor and they'll perscribe them for you?

In canada you can either talk to a doctor and decribe waht you are feeling or you can see a therapist and they will diganose depression and write you a perscription. If you don't want to you go and talk to a therapist then go and see your doctor or see a mediclinic. dreamweaver Posted at 8:48 pm on Jan. 28, 2007 Meds is only going to help with very little of the depression.  A therapist could help you much more with it, by teaching you how to deal with it and so forth. tamashii Posted at 8:23 pm on Jan. 28, 2007 Go to a physicatris (sp?) you take a survey, you talk...and you start. deadwood83 Posted at 8:08 pm on Jan. 28, 2007 Yep.  You'll get referred to a psychiatrist probably.  Psychologists are psychiatrists who cannot prescribe pills in case you were wondering the difference.  Both are therapists though.

OverTheAir Posted at 8:01 pm on Jan. 28, 2007 You need a prescription for those kinds of things, so yes you have to see some kind of doctor. You can't just self diagnose yourself. Saralita Posted at 8:00 pm on Jan. 28, 2007 yeah, they have to diagnose you first in order to get a perscription. and fyi, EVEROYNE is "pretty sure" that they have depression, but they usually don't, they're just sad with life.
