Talking to your doctor about depression can be tough. But in order for you to get the treatment that best fits you, it's important to discuss with your doctor your symptoms. You also need to express any concerns you have about depression and its treatment. Remember to ask for some extra time when booking your appointment.
To help you get started, use one of our Doctor Discussion Guides. These guides will help you talk to your doctor about depression. Print the guide, fill in as much information as you can, and bring it to your doctor's appointment.
Choose the one that best fits your current situation:
I think I am depressed
I've been diagnosed with depression
