Should I go to a psychiatrist for medication? I’ve been seeing my regular family medicine doctor for my anxiety medication, but none of the pills I’ve tried over the past six years have helped- should I just see an actual psychiatrist for medication?

It might be helpful. Do you go to therapy? Often times therapy can be just as important as medication

I would definitely seek out the help of a psychiatrist, especially if you’ve tried a lot of medications without much success. Psychiatrists will likely know a lot more about psychiatric drugs, their side effects, which drugs should be combined, etc.

Yes for sure! Finding a psychiatrist was an excellent decision for me. There’s so many meds that they’ll know about that your PCP probably wouldn’t think of.

I am starting therapy soon, I just got insurance, yay lol
Might as well. They might have some other ideas. But anxiety can also be hard to treat too
definitely try it!
