I am 23 and I have strong reasons to believe I have fallen into an existential depression, due to some recent events in my life. I am going to see the doctor on friday so I can make the insurance pay for a psychiatrist but I'd like to know if anybody on this forum has dealt with this issue before and how did it go? Any tips on what to look for in a psychiatrist that's gonna be able to convince me that life isn't pointless and loveless? Yay or nay on medication (I'm especially scared of the cutoff from them which I heard can be quite rough).
Any tips/ pointers/ help would be appreciated.
PS: sorry if I made mistakes english is not my first language
