Medicine might help: For mood problems, studies imply that therapy helps as much as medicine, and if you do both it can help more. It seems a lot of psychiatrists feel therapy helps BETTER than medicine. So, it is recommended that you work on therapy (e.g. rational emotive therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy) as well as considering medicine. See a psychologist/counselor for therapy AND a psychiatrist for medicine.

Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as anxiety or depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.
