I have had MH issues on and off all of my adult life. For the last 5 years I've been fly functioning and generally managing.
I would describe my current state as:
Mild depression
Mild/Med anxiety
Med/severe - Eating disorder - BED - 3 stone gained in 4 months.
I am functioning but I feel like it's been a heavy weight for the last few months and I feel tired from it all.
The last time I saw a Dr for depression they wanted me to take citalopram. I didn't take them as I'm terrified they will make me gain more weight and make my eating worse.
I don't know what I'm looking for but I need more than someone giving me 2 minutes and prescribing me the first thing they think off.
I know there are waiting lists in my area for CBT.
What should I expect from my appointment and what can I do to get the best from it?
Are there any meds out there that can help with all of the above as I really don't want to go on them for one thing and make something else worse. My eating is probably the biggest thing in struggling with.
