see a psychiatrist, not a therapist. i've had better help identifying problems with one, they're also more harsh and honest.

yes but usually you have to see either a gp or psychologist in order to be referred to a psychiatrist
the waiting lists are quite long for new patients i believe

Therapy is better on being poisonous "psychiatric" pills

It works too, and no, you're not "too self-aware" for it to work

you don't have to take meds, they recommend a lot of ways to help before medication

at least that's what happened for me it was my choice about meds
