Talk w/doc about you: Primary care doctors have basic training to assess for depression. If indicated, many start their patients on antidepressants. Some aren't comfortable with doing this. You can also ask your doctor for a referral to a psychiatrist -- psychiatrists have specific training to evaluate & treat depression and other mental health conditions. Seeing one will allow you to receive specialized help.
