don't look for a diagnosis, just some practical ways to address your issues..\n\nsome good questions to ask are, how will (s)he AND you know when progress is being made- how will you evaluate the work you are doing together,\n\nwhat trreatment options you have (meds or no meds or combination ...  on-going psychiatry, or maybe your needs are better served by a psychologist, or other kind of counselor, does it make sense to involve others in treatment (it's often very helpful to involve your partner or other family members)\n\nhow long (s)he think you will require professional help...\n\nand any other questions you might have, don't hesitate to ask...  don't hold back because you're unsure if your questions are appropriate or not, (s)he will let you know...\n\ngood luck~

Find a psychiatrist who treats by psychoanalysis.  Just call around to psychiatrist's offices and find out the type of practice.  If they are Freudian or Jungian, there will probably be psychoanalysis.

Might I recommend a good psychiatrist for you!

Yes. Go to the closest Psychiatric Emergency Service, they will be able to help you. I am sure you have very serious reasons to consider that, but it would be best to talk to a professional about that. You'd surprised how much they can help.

Either Psychology or Psychiatry are your best bets. It depends on how much close contact you want with those you are working with. In Psychology you'll have more book study time and learning about the mind in general, but as a Psychiatrist you'll have time to work with individual patients on their problems. Also keep the ideas of Counsellor, Social worker, or Therapist on your mind. The best thing to do would be to talk to an expert career finder. Hey, you may end up doing that for a living yourself! There are plenty of job opportunities open for people who like to help, I'm sure you'll find what fits you best if you look into it.

I would say a good old Psychiatrist.  They can write a script for any medication you may need and also help the patient deal with any emotional side issue involved

Well, some psychiatrists do not follow Sigmund Freud, who tried to "explain away" belief in God(s) as a type of mental illness.\n\nJungian psychology might be compatible with some psychiatrists' personal beliefs.\n\nOthers may prefer other schemata.\n\nAs another reply said, psychiatrists are people, too, with tastes and thoughts and personal needs etc.

I would search for a psychiatric nurse practitioner; they can prescribe medication and are frequently as good as seeing a normal therapist, in addition to being much cheaper.

Psychiatrists have a medical degree and prescribes medicine along with all forms of verbal therapy.\nPsychologists do NOT have medical degree therefore can't prescribe medicine but they can talk to her\nA counselor can talk to her as well and their education varies.\nA therapist is just like a psychologist\n\nThere are different forms of therapy and psychologists, psychiatrists, couselors, therapist specialize in different areas. And the higher the education the more expensive the doctor.\n\nEither one is fine as long as they are compatible with your sister. Depression is a serious illness. She should get an assessment, preferably from a psychologist and then see whether she needs to see a pscyhicatrist for mental medicine.
