I respectfully disagree with Mark. Your psych sounds arrogant, condescending, and patronizing. Just being referred to him should have indicated at minimal a evaluation and recommendations that could really help. Not offhand opined remarks that do nothing to serve your health needs. As a temporary aid medication properly administered can assist in getting over the hump so to speak until you can get your issues to a more manageable level. Of course you will need a competent Dr you trust to administer. I agree with Marks comment that it is possible to over medicate here. So exercise caution.
