Hi citlali, welcome! You can check out DocJohn's area of information (see disorders tab above?) That will help you figure out where you are on the sadness scale.

Your medical doctor is a good place to begin. Sometimes it's a medical problem that is causing symptoms, and it's always a good thing to make sure there are none before beginning any therapy.

Your MD can give you a referral to a psychologist. I am biased and would begin there. IF the psychologist finds you might also need medication and your MD hasn't done this yet, then the T will refer you to your MD or a psychiatrist. BUT the T won't quit therapy with you, it will be congruent.

Come back and post often, especially for support! It's a great place to be when you need help.
