first you may go and describe your symptoms to your general practitioner/family doctor
if they feel it is minor, temporary, stress-related etc., they may prescribe you themselves
if they feel it is more severe, you will be referred to a psychiatrist and/or a licensed mental health counselor
I hope you feel better.
A doctor can prescribe treatment and verify that you have depression, and a counselor is one form of treatment! I really hope you get better, I have depression, but now after seeing my doctor (not to sound like a commercial) I am a very happy person!! Hope this helps :D
Try a psychologist.
If you need medicine, he'll refer you to your doctor or a psychiatrist.
first doctor they well decide if you need a therapist or cunsler. also if drugs are needed.
