Question:

What kind of doctor should a teen visit about severe mood swings?


Answers:

First, she should see her general practitioner (the doctor you go to see about being sick or your annual checkup). The general practitioner will refer her to either a gynecologist, or a psychologist or a psychiatrist, or both if he/she feels that necessary. If you didn't want to go through your GP, make an appointment with a gynecologist; see if you have any hormonal imbalances or anything like that. If you are all cleared by the gynecologist, then make an appointment with a therapist.

A teen, however, should have some kind of access to a school counselor. I would recommend seeing them and consulting with him/her before making a doctor's appointment.
