Please note that I did not say a psychiatrist or psychologist. A psychiatrist is an MD who treats mental illness and can prescribe drugs. A psychologist is a Ph.D. or Psych.D. who treats psychological issues and can not prescribe drugs. A Neuro-Psychologist is a specialized psychologist with extra training in diagnosing brain dysfunctions (not mental illness)
A physiatrist is an M.D. They are often affiliated with a rehabilitation hospital. Look for them in the phone book under Physicians and Surgeons in the heading Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

Thanks Mark. I think I need to see one soon. I yell at my family members over small things and realise later that something is not right with me. I am constantly irritated and angry at others for no obvious reason. I feel trapped and angry of what life has become. Sorry for being so negative I badly need to vent. I dont want to get on any antidepressants anymore but just want to heal and come out of this **** as fast as possible! Sorry I know these are not healthy thoughts while recovering but I suddenly feel terrible
