A member asked:

I'm worried instead of meds the doctor will send me to counselling. will i have a choice in this?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Choice: I would speak to your doctor about the options for your situation. In consultation with the doctor you will be able to discuss the benefits of counseling and medications. Remember you are always able to get a second opinion if you do not agree with your doctor.
