So basically I've been extremely depressed, which started in November and got really bad around late December, early January. After I went to my GP and started medication and counselling things started to get better, but they took a sudden nosedive in mid-March I was at uni at the time, but I have been at home since being released from hospital. I am planning to go back to uni at the beginning of next term (April) and I will have to make an appointment to see my GP as soon as I go back to kind of discuss what the next step is in terms of therapy or whatever.

My issue is that I know a lot of my problems centre around food and binge-eating and I am not sure what kind of support to ask for? Should I tell my GP what it's about or ask for a referral to a Psychiatrist and tell them? Or wait until I get therapy and tell my therapist? Would this affect the kind of treatment that I would get and how?

I would really appreciate any advice and if any one knows what the likely referral would be. I'm just kinda confused as to what help is available and how best to access it.

Thanks.



Also, to franny227 if you're reading this, I read your message on my other thread about BED but for some reason I haven't been able to log in since and couldn't reply, so please don't think I'm ignoring you and hopefully the problem is resolved now! How have you been coping?
