  • How do I prepare to speak to a psychologist about my depression?

    Whenever you meet with a psychologist, it is important to be open and honest. Although this professional may in fact be a stranger, the more details you can provide the better she can help you. It is also helpful for you to pay attention to yourself i.e. your feelings, behaviors and thoughts prior to your session. For example can you stop for 45 seconds three or four times a day and ask yourself how you feel right now? You may discover you feel better or worse during certain times of the day or engaged in certain activities. In addition, pay attention to your daily routine. How are you sleeping, how are you eating, do you have more or less energy than you usually do. Are you able to focus at home and at work, and with your family and friends in a manner that is satisfactory to you. Last, following your initial meetings with the psychologist, resist rushing off ti continue your busy day. Resist getting on your phone to distract yourself. Rather, stop and think about how you feel, about what was discussed, and your reactions to the meeting. Hope this was helpful, and you feel better soon. Sharon Gordetsky, PhD READ MORE

  • When is it advised to see a doctor for depression?

    It sounds like you are taking the time to pay attention to how you are feeling. You know yourself best and can judge whether your mood is is significantly different from the way you formally experienced yourself. Are you feeling "miserable " only or mainly at work, or do you also feel sad/depressed outside work or on the weekends? Do you feel worse when you are alone or with people? Pay attention to any differences in your eating, sleeping, level of energy, and your grooming habits. Do you find yourself crying easily? It is always a good idea to check in with your PCP to see if there is a change in your physical health that can explain your change in mood. If not, you may be clinically depressed and should seek a consultation. Research shows that eating and sleeping well, combined with exercise and being around friends is helpful. Asking the questions is a good start. READ MORE
