If i have depression and can not take ssris should i see a family physician or psychiatrist?

Or a psychologist: A psychiatrist for a med eval is a better choice if you have past probems with med. And psychotherapy is effecive treatment for mild to moderate depression even without meds.

A Psychaitrist: I recommend a good board certified psychiatrist for this. I wonder why you cannot take ssris? Ssris are antidepressant medications. There are other, non-ssri anti-depressant medications, such as wellbutrin (bupropion). A psychiatrist would tend to be the type of specialist with the most expertice in such an area. Good luck.
