schedule an appointment with your primary care provider and tell them about your symptoms. they’ll usually provide a base level med such as lexapro and check in with you in a few weeks. they’ll probably also direct you to mental health resources.

Haven’t been to the doctor in years and doubt I have the same primary care provider, which adds to the hiccup. I also worry about the first checkup and its issue with insurance. Should my first check up just be a normal check up and then make another appointment a few weeks later or do it all in the first checkup- clearly I am an over thinker which adds to my executive dysfunction lol

i would say your first check up bring it all up, so if they can get you what you need you can get it asap 🙏🏻
