Answers:
Your doctor may not be qualified to treat depression. In most cases, many are misdiagnosed and the depression conitnues untreated.
You may want to discuss your reservations about seeing a therapist with your primary care doctor. He/she may be able to work with you in overcoming your fears.
By establishing an open communication with your doctor from the very beginning, you can help strengthen your doctor/patient relationship, and can help you get the proper treatment you need.
This, in turn, will help you get faster relief – which is what it’s all about.
Take care and good luck!
