How you feel: Tell your doctor how you've been struggling with depression and anxiety -- how it affects you and your life. S/he will want to know how you sleep and eat, and how your energy, concentration, and interests are. If you feel suicidal tell that also. Some primary care doctors don't feel comfortable prescribing for depression or anxiety; others do. Ask for a referral to a therapist at least.
