Question by Clarice: What happens when you get a psychiatrist?
I suffered depression as a teen. I am now in my early 20’s. Recently, I tried to kill myself taking headache pills and lied to the doctor that I didn’t do it intentionally (since I didn’t take enough to die). I’m embarrassed of getting a psychiatrist and fear that they will make it known to my friends and family.

What happens when I get a therapist? Will they send me to the mental hospital? Will “depression” be on my medical record forever? Will it affect my job?

I’ve been through all of this. We’re exact on this. It’s alright to tell your family, because they care about you. But you don’t have to tell your friends if you don’t want to.

A therapist just talks with you. You can get all of your feelings out. Cry, yell, anything. She’ll understand. Even when you get angry with her, she’ll understand.

Only if you tell them you want to kill yourself. If you get down, they won’t. If you cry, they won’t. Because those two are what everyone gets once in a while. Just don’t tell them you want to kill yourself. But if you feel you need some help, ask for the mental hospital.

I’m not sure, maybe? Then again, I’m sure it will, because it’s put on my papers for depression and suicide.

It will if you tell your employees and boss what you’ve been through. You don’t have to tell them about your personal life.
