I might be going to a psychiatrist soon, if I can straighten our my insurance or figure out some other way to pay for it. But where do I start? I feel like depression is my biggest problem, but I also feel like I have some kind of anxiety. I have a family history of suicide, and I've thought about it myself. This has been going on for years, but only recently has it gotten so bad.

So when and if I go see someone, where do I even start? For a while I thought I might have had Bi-Polar, but I'm pretty sure now it is just depression. How do I even FIND a good psychiatrist? And can they really help that much? I feel like there isn't a whole lot anyone can do.
