Mental health issue: I think you are confused about what neuropsychologists and neuropsychiatrists do. They do not treat depression, severe or otherwise. The treatment for depression is psychotherapy, or psychotherapy + antidepressant medication. See a psychologist or psychiatrist who treats depression and can provide psychotherapy. Your neurologist gave you good advice-- unclear why you seem reluctant to accept it.
