She does specialize in depression but I chose her because she specializes in social phobia too. I think a lot of my depression stems from my social phobia. Unfortunately, my mother suffered from this too and never got help. I don't want to be like her because she was miserable and she never went to any of my school functions when I needed her there (plays, graduations, tennis games). She was very depressed because she felt awkward in public and I have started feeling the same way over the past few years and I want it to stop.
