[QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 69572, member: 14411"] Get your hormones checked first. If option B must be taken, see a counselor first, rather than a psychiatrist. A psychiatrist will prescribe meds, a counselor will explore other options and refer you to a psychiatrist only as a last resort. There are other interventions that can work better than medications. Also, don't rule out cognitive behavioral therapy. What you are dealing with may not be an either or proposition. Too many people, especially men, want a quick fix for mental health issues. Old fashioned work and effort can also improve mental health as well . Full disclosure. I am a licensed counselor and I see this all the time. Even if you get your hormones in place, the world won't be all puppies and rainbows. Get you body right, but don't neglect to do some work on your mental health as well. They can go hand in hand.
