A member asked:

What would be a good way to convince my doctor to prescribe me anti-depressants?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No need to convince: Tell your doctor what symptoms you are experiencing and he will be able to arrive at a diagnosis. However, if you feel that you have depression and your pcp does not agree with you, then ask to be referred to a psychiatrist for a second opinion.

Dr Pappas and another doctor agreed
