Hello & Welcome, Estranged!

I regret I have no authoritative answers for you. I speculate the psychiatrist will make a formal diagnosis after meeting with you. The psychiatrist may want to rule out other possible medical conditions causing your symptoms. For example, thyroid problems can underlie depression, and in that case they may want to prescribe thyroid medication. Most of the time, however, you'll come away from the psychiatrist with a prescription for some sort of antidepressant.

Controversy exists over prescribing antidepressants for young people. Your psychiatrist may resort to drugs only after considering therapy.

Please keep posting.
