How to Prepare Yourself
This is a question for the counselors. You can't read my mind, and I'm not going to tell you everything that's on my mind either. The likelihood of this conversation being productive would be greatly improved if we were both able discuss our individual needs and desires with someone who understands us as well or better than ourselves!
Questions to ask your doctor:
The doctor will ask you questions about your medical history to determine the best treatment for depression. He or she may also give a list of other medications and supplements that could interact negatively with them, if they are currently being taken in order to find out which ones can be stopped prior without causing any problems (or started again once stopping).
1) What is the nature of your depression?
2) What are your current symptoms?
3) What medications and supplements are you currently taking?
4) Are you experiencing any side effects from your current medications or supplements?
5) What other treatments have you tried in the past?
6) What was the outcome of those treatments?
7) What is your current level of functioning?
8) Are you able to work, go to school, or take care of your daily responsibilities?
9) Are you experiencing any suicidal thoughts or behaviors?
10) Do you have a history of mental health problems?
Questions to ask your therapist:
You can ask a therapist these questions if they are giving you depression counseling:
What type of approach do I use and what will the goals be?
What assignments might we give each other during our sessions to complete together, usually once per week or month for an extended period (i.e., months)?
How often am i expected attend these sessions in total - daily/weekly?"
Do you also need medical care at this time because it sounds like there could potentially by two doctors treating me instead just one who specializes exclusively on mental health issues alone.
Keep a Journal
Keeping a journal is important to document your daily symptoms and feelings during depression. You can include what you're currently experiencing, how it makes you feel on any given day that affects the way in which we cope with our mental health issues as well as other events affecting those emotions or moods (i..e., anything significant).
It may also be helpful if there are missed doses of medication so they don't go unnoticed later when trying desperately fight off another episode! There are many benefits to journaling, including:
1) It can help you track your progress over time.
2) It can be a form of self-care.
3) It can help you identify patterns in your moods or behaviors.
4) It can provide you with a outlet for your emotions.
5) It can be used as a tool in therapy to help you and your therapist identify areas to work on.
Some people find it helpful to keep a daily journal, while others prefer to write only when they're feeling particularly down or up.
Journaling during visits can be beneficial for both you and your therapist. Keeping a diary or journal of any symptoms that are present may help identify changes in mood, stress levels etc., which could suggest depression to the physician if left untreated
It's important discuss these things with them so they know how best serve their needs as well!
