I'm asking because since I had my third baby I've had worsening depression. My ob/gyn happened to notice it first, and since his birth I have seen him regularly every few months. Granted another time I also had my annual exam, but he told me to come back to follow up with a painful sex issue I had. I went back today but I don't really know why I did. The cream he prescribed helps with the pain, the fact that I don't enjoy sex anymore is a purely emotional issue. I didn't really expect him to do anything about it. I even said I feel like I am wasting your time, but he assured me that it was good to see me even if it was for the feelings stuff. He talked to me a bit about my depression issues and told me I should come back in the fall. Is it unusual to find help in a doctor outside of the psychology realm? Does anyone else do this? I feel silly going back when I am not having a baby and don't have a gyn issue. And yet it comforts me to do so.
