I agree.that you should get a referral from yr doctor but you can also.look in yr area for therapy clinics. As others have said you'll need to see yr regular doc for a psychiatrist referral. I'm sorry yr Mom reacted that way to you when you brought up therapy. Some people are either too proud to seek help or they think it's not necessary when it is. There is no shame in seeking help. If it weren't for the mental health professionals out there many mi folks would be alone floundering in utter misery. You know yrself best. If yr mood swings are interfering with yr daily life then it's time to be evaluated. I wish you luck. Let us know how it goes. Hug
