Will my family doctor refer me to a psychiatrist?!


Question:

Will my family doctor refer me to a psychiatrist?

I have been have some serious problems with mood swings, depression, losing and gaining weight, very decreased sex drive, fatigue, and no energy. I thought it was my birth control pills but, I switched pills because I thought I was having side effects. After 3 months, my symptoms are still here. Will my doctor send me to a psychologist? because I am beginning to think that I am having some serious mental problems.


Answers:

If you need to see a therapist, you might get a referral. But your symptoms sound like hypoglycemia to me. It may not be your head, but your diet.
Fatigue, insomnia, mental confusion, anxiety, nervousness, mood swings, faintness, headaches, depression, phobias, heart palpitations, a craving for sweets, cold hands and feet, forgetfulness, dizziness, blurred vision, inner trembling, outbursts of temper, sudden hunger, allergies, and crying spells are all symptoms of low blood sugar.
You can get drugs for depression, or you can change how and what you eat.
