Anxiety disorder/panic attacks/..help?!
Question: Anxiety disorder/panic attacks/!.!.help!?
I have an anxiety disorder, I'm always so nervous and I find myself crying through out my panic attacks because I'm scared, But this is usually in public, and I'm tired of it all!.
My question is, If I told my regular doctor about it, would he prescribe the medication (antidepressants) to me!?
or would he have to refer me to a psychiatrist first!?
I don't want to talk to a psychiatrist, I feel very uncomfortable about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My doctor gave me antidepressants which help my chemical imbalance!. He would have wanted me to go to a psychiatrist if I had serious problems though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
OMG!. lol !. I just went to a pyschiatrist's office today! I have been putting it off for years!. I saw one years ago!.!. did not love it and did not go back or go on meds!. etc!. because I had no insurance and it would have cost too much to continue etc!. The place my friend took me to today did not need to have a doctor's referral ( I did not want to see a doctor)!. But they asked me to have some lab work done for my own safety through all this and that I should see a doctor regularly!. That is the part that I don't love the doctors!. But you do need a psychiatrist's referall for meds!. and this one I had today was great!. Did not get into lots of details about my life just asked me why I felt I needed something and asked me what methods I'd like to take and what I wanted to see happening!. Just keep asking around if you don't find one you like right off!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
You need to end the sufferring!. Go to a psychiatrist you shouldn't have to be publicly embarrassed!. I felt the same way but then i went to a psychiatrist and they really really helped me!. You just have to tell them everything because then they can't help you!. They deal with tons of people like you so they have great advice and tools to help, so you have to trust them because they will really help you! :]Www@Answer-Health@Com
Hi
Try to talk to the counselor first!. Try to stay away from medication if possible!. Anxiety can be treated without medication!.
