Today I went to see a Holistic doctor (just to get a second opinion on stuff), and he told me that what I'm going through right now is not a psychological issue.

"You are sad," was what he said. And I'm just??? Yeah, obviously I'm sad, who'd be happy being stuck at home doing absolutely nothing every day for two whole years, too afraid to leave the front door.

And he told me this isn't a psychological issue ("definitely not a mental illness, I've seen mentally ill people. You are not like them,"). I.. I should be graduating university and working now, but I've not even started studying yet. I've suffered with an eating disorder, etc. Is he saying that none of them were psychological? I don't know why I'm so offended by this, I probably should be relieved instead. But if it's not a mental illness, what's wrong with me?

I've been to a psychiatrist who thinks that I'm going through something called "prodromal psychosis". But this doctor thinks I'm just "sad" (he has healed so many patients with physical problems - cancer, diabetes, etc- which is why I'm not doubting that he's a good doctor at all). But who do I trust?

My psychiatrist wants to put me on Atypical Anti-psychotics, but this holistic doctor wants me to go through a 1-Month body Detox and Therapy and he ensures that I'll be good as new.

I don't even know what's wrong with me anymore. I thought going to see a doctor would solve this but I'm more confused than I ever was.

I don't know who to trust. (I hope this is the correct forum to post this in)
