Psychiatrist: You can see a psychiatrist to see if you need medications. You should also use your social support network for help at this time. You also need to know your rights, you should be able to see your child.

Depression: I am very sorry to hear you cannot see your child. Before you consider medication consult with a clinical psychologist who specializes in family therapy and substance abuse. He or she can help you cope effectively and also help you decide whether or not to take anti-depression meds. My best.
