Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below what should i expect? from what i read psychologists dont really recommend medicine as much if at all, so if they think i need it will they refer me to a psychiatrist? i know i need anti-depressants, anti-anxiety, and would like to have (not neccessarily need) adderal. my thoughts are pretty fuckin crazy as it is so if i pretty much be myself i should get what i need right? they might have something on file about my admitted steroid use, not sure if that would affect anything or not or if just the doctor i told would have that info...anyone care to give me some details?
First psychologist appointment tomorrow...

Psychologists/therapists can't prescribe medication and they are not medical doctors.

How did you get your appointment?
Were you referred by another doctor?
Or did you look one up in the phone book?
Are you going just to get drugs?
Or are you going to talk to someone about your feelings?
They ask a lot of questions.

i got the appointment by calling up and requesting but i had been told i needed to see one for a loooong time by school teachers/counselors and such but my parents wouldn't let me. i intentionally chose a psychologist because i do have alot of issues i need to talk about and i think that is the MAIN cause of my problem but at the same time i think i need medicine, especially anxiety (i get nervous at the grocery store). sounds like i would probably need a little of both then...

Hmm.
Well, I would venture to guess that the parental units are a part of what you want/need to talk about.
If you feel comfortable with the person just pour your heart out. Sometimes you just need to get stuff off your chest or get a different point of view from someone unattached to the situation.
Are you in college?
Good luck to you.

Velvet nailed it. Good advise. He's YOUR shrink, why play games with him. Tell 'em like it is.
Worst could happen: nothing... and you go find somebody else.

Support mental health, or I will kill you!!!
Na, just tell it like it is at home, school, whatever. He/she may run some test (not medical) mental, but those test are kind of iffy on the interpretation of the results.
You may need some anti-deppresant and maybe some xanax till the anti-deppresant kicks in, then still you may needthe xanax or valium from time to time.
Good luck!
Hey wait a minute, Satanic has the best idea yet!

I'll be your "shrink"
Drink yourself into a blur then go on a killing spree. Trust me, you'll be glad you did.
That advice was on the house.
