    Don't worry. There are different types of therapy and support. They just talk to you to find out what your problems are and what would be most appropriate for you.

    Agreed. This is a normal assessment than any reasonably competent doctor should submit you to before deciding on a course of treatment. Psychiatrists are simply specialists in mental and emotional problems/disorders, so they are the best people for you to speak to, as they will know far more than your GP.

    What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I drew the line between hope and despair, and the line will hold.
