I'm new to this therapy thing. I've been diagnosed by my doctor (as in needle and thermometer kind of doctor!) as having Depression and Anxiety. It hasn't gotten better with over a year of different drugs, so I'm seeking a new venue to solve or help my problems.

I've seen my Therapist a few times now (almost a month) and she hasn't told me anything, just a lot of questions and subsequent talking. I've discussed my frequent panic attacks, OCD tendencies, and agoraphobia with her (which I've kept very private due to embarrassment). I understand she would't want to jump the gun of a diagnosis or anything of the like, but I'd at least like to be kept up to date on her thoughts so I can not only bring this to my doctor, but so I can better understand and therefore cope with these issues.

What is a good timeline for her to diagnose or discuss her opinions with me? Should I be so forward as to ask her? I'm not a very confident or outgoing person so being so direct and questioning would be hard for me….
