Well today i had an appointment with my therapist and she told me that she will refer me to a psychiatrist to get extra help because im often suicidal.I don't know how to feel, i mean i was glad that she told me to go to a psychiatrist because it would mean that im more serious than i should.I don't know, i feel kinda weird right now.

I don't know why i post this, i wanted to tell you guys.I don't know if im asking for advice.Has it happened to anyone before to go to a therapist and then s/he to refer you to a psychiatrist?Sorry for this stupid post.I shouldn't have posted anything.sorry for the disturbance.

I saw my GP about meds after being in therapy for some time, and when the meds didn't do what they needed to do, I was referred to a psychiatrist by my GP. Therapy continued throughout all this, and still continues. I was discharged by the psychiatrist once I was stable on the new meds. My GP oversees my medication, and I continue to see my therapist.

Hey
The role of a psychiatrist in treatment is normally to prescribe meds and to carry out reviews while the therapist concentrates on the talking part of therapy.
Being referred is a positive step and you'll be getting more help. I was referred straight away and i still see the psychiatrist from time to time for medication reviews.

hi guys,

well i went to a psychiatrist yesterday and she told my mom that i don't have depression, only some symptoms(is it possible to have the symptoms but not the illness?), but im not quite sure what they discussed cuz she asked me to leave them alone.

the only thing my mom told me is that the psych will discuss my situation with my therapist and then tell me what they will do.i don't know.i will go to my therapist tomorrow, but i don't know what she will tell me.what if she says that im normal and that i have nothing to worry about?i have been feeling like crap with some ups, for more than 2 months.do you think its just a phase in my life?

sorry if im being selfish.i know that people here have more important problems than mine.mine aren't important.in fact they aren't problems.everything is in my mind.
