Dose having sever headaches anxiety from being apart depression and anxiety EMS or service dog?
Does the note have to come from a therapist or could it come from a primary care provider? Or a regular doctor?
It has to come from a therapist
How do you break it to your parents that you’ve been hiding your anxiety and depression from them, and have almost had a panic attack before? (I just ended up laying down on a bench until I could actually breathe and wasn’t lightheaded, and my legs didn’t feel weaker then a small twig.)
Julian,
Just tell them how you’ve been feeling, no parent wants their child to suffer like that… Or if you are anxious about that, ask to speak to your guidance counselor at school, they might be able to better explain it to your parents. Hope this helps!
The best way is to just tell them. They might want to know why you’ve been hiding it from them; when I told my parents, I also told them that I felt like I had to keep my appearance of being someone who brought joy to other people and that I was afraid of being judged. Reaching out is the hardest step in getting help, but once you do, it can change your life in the best way. I also have anxiety with panic attacks— at one point, enough for it to be Panic Attack Disorder. Hope this helps! Good luck, I have faith in you!
Cosette, this is the best advice. I am “old”, but I still go through all of those feelings in my regular life— Deep depression and anxiety. I’m saying this to tell that I know how debilitating having those issues can be.
I am also replying because I have children, three of whom went through and sometimes are still going through this. So much so that my youngest had began cutting at 13. I saw her going through so much. It is hard for a parent to know what she is going through and watch her suffer. The BEST thing is to talk to your mom OR dad Or even an adult sibling.
I hope this helps SOMEone…
I have PTSD and very depressed can i get a support animals .
does it have to be a therapist to RX one or can it be a normal doctor? I have severe anxiety and depression but don’t go to therapy, i just take medication and want to get a support animal.
You need to see a Psychiatrist. The letter can’t be from any doctor but a Psychiatrist.
I mean you can speak to a psychiatrist on this web page. Main page. Or if your personal care
physician (family Dr.) helps you with your psychiatric needs like antidepressants or anxiety meds she is allowed to write you a letter on her letterhead. Read through all of these comments. Everyone is asking the same questions over and over.
