I am going through some anxiety issues. Should I be seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist? Should I consider CBT? Please recommend some good psychologist or psychiatrist in sanfrancisco southbay area. Have anyone used Microsoft cares program? Useful? #mentalhealth
I suffer from depression and anxiety. CBT has been quite useful and I highly recommend it.
no
Please try to get an appointment of Dr. Vandameer in Wellness center in bldg 21. I suffered through severe anxiety issues including depression, OCD, panic attacks, anxiety attacks and emotional breakdown for almost 1.5 years. Mine was post partum hormones + career issues. I tried therapy about 5 sessions but talking about my emotions wasn't helping me much. Then after 1 year of suffering I muster up courage to talk to a Dr and get some anti-anxiety pills (I didn't take them sooner due to fear of addiction and also since I was breastfeeding, but later on mostly due to fear of addiction and misinformation that it will make it worst). But he had prescribed me Fluvoxamine and general multivitamins (needless to say lack of sunlight makes your body Vitamin D deficient which can cause blues, bad moods, depression and negativity). And within 4 months I was back to normal, just one pill before bed time. Next 2 months I took them alternate days nd sometimes forgot since practically I was fully cured!! It's been 3 years since then, and I am totally normal no pills just general multivitamins. Please do visit him once. Take care. Edit: I realized that you are in CA, but in Microsoft. Now Microsoft provides ConnectYourCare, so using that you should be able to schedule a video chat with Dr. Vandemeer.
I highly recommend you seeing a psychologist. Can’t recommend one in the Bay, but I’ve heard you can find some of the best ones in CA over there. Good luck.
Read The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer, billionaire and Self Compassion by Kristin Neff, PhD you are waiting for your appointment
If you’re having difficulty finding someone and really struggling, look up your company EAP provider to speak to a therapist (usually psychologists). My company EAP offers video chat options so tho I’m in the South Bay I speak to a therapist in LA for anxiety and depression.
