What is the difference between an identity crisis and severe depression? What is wrong with me?

I have depression and anxiety disorders and I see both a psychologist and a psychiatrist. I dont pay either of them any money. There are free and covered services for mental health. I mean you wouldnt call a cancer specialist a narsitic form of medicine would you? Psychology and psychiatry are just as necessary and just as helpful. The only one who can properly diagnose a mental illness is a psychologist or psychiatrist. a normal GP would likely just try to give you meds...they dont have the proper training to deal with mental illness problems.The best advice I can give you is to seek out those services offered in your area..get an evaluation by a psychologist and continue on with therapy and other treatment. And taking meds does not make you normal...everyone is different and my issues run deeper than being fixed by a pill. and medications are not cures for anyone. Good luck and hopefully you find the answer you're looking for for what you want to achieve. :)
