Alternatives to psychiatric consultations?

  I must say that psychiatrists and the psychologists are the experts in assesment and management of mental health issues including depression. Unfortunately, mental illnesses are still perceived negatively by our socities and associated with unalled stigma and biases. Many celebrities have come out and spoken in public about their mental health to reduce this stigma. I really hope that you are able to see a psychiatrist and or a psychologisit to receive the best treatment.
