Do these exist

I'm "allergic" to doctors. I don't trust them. They scare me and hurt me so many times,

I have Major Depression.

I can't move on from this Depression without help from doctors. But their help has made me worse

Around here several university hospitals have a psychiatry department with "sub-departments" that each specialize in something different, such as depression.

I think you are asking the right question, and Breadfish is certainly on the right track. Based on your set of conditions and experiences - insofar as I understand them, only experienced specialists have any chance of offering you substantive help. "First responders" (GPs, general therapists, etc.) are not for you.

My opinion only...

Have you tried third sector organisations like Mind? I had a brilliant art therapist through Mind who helped me through a major depression several years ago. Personally I do not want to see a psychiatrist and am not a fan, and mainstream services seem either geared up just for a GP led meds based approach or at best, IAPT, which tends to be pretty low level (going through all that myself right now).

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
