Is It Bad To See A Therapist? Read Details :)?


Hi, I am 13 and have been sad (not depressed just blue. Doctor said I am fine. I am not suicidal. I talk to my parents a lot, but I have been a little more down then the average girl. I am very philosophical and think about big stuff)
My mom and dad and doctor said I could see a therapist IF I WANT TOO. I don’t need to because I talk to my mo and dad (my mom is actually a therapist herself, but for adults). I think a little bit of talk therapy with a professional could help me sort out my feelings and my family agrees. Not now, because I am doing better but in the future if I am interested in some outside help .
Anyway, I asked a question about my sadness a little while ago and got good, helpful replies. Many said if I wanted I could try a therapist. But one person said that I should not see a therapist or go back to my doctor, because if they thought I was depressed, it would go onto my permanent record.
And it would put a damper on college.
Is that true? Would colleges not accept me?
And, if I see a therapist in a private practice (not affiliated with a hospital or any orginization) would it go on my record?
Would colleges not want a smart, Straight-A student with good extracurriculars (assuming i still have those things when I am older) who has suffered a little with some sadness?
Help! I am so worried that I won’t et into college if I reach out for help!
Thank you! 🙂

What Do I Need To Look For In A Doctor?


I am a 28 year old female. I have a regular gynecologist I visit annually for a pelvic exam and pap smear, however I would like to find another doctor that is not necessarily so specialized in a specific area. I would like to get all other aspects of my body checked out, heart, blood, lungs etc…
I live in a major metropolitan area, so I do have access to a varying amount of physicians. I am unmarried and have no children, so I am not really in the market for a family doctor, just a regular physician. Would this just be a doctor who simply specializes in Internal Medicine? Are there any specific benefits a hospital affiliated doctor can provide vs. a private practice doctor?

Psyd Worth Anything Anymore?


Now, I’ve done enough research to know that the best schools are the ones that are affiliated with a university. But, with all the diploma mills churning out degrees, is a PsyD even worth anything anymore? I’d love to be a clinical psychologist, and it was recommended to me by a PhD at my alma mater to go the PsyD route rather than the PhD, if I want to go into treatment. As well, the line between the two is becoming further blurred and that PsyD’s are no longer frowned upon. Does anyone have any idea how much a PsyD can make in private practice or as part of a clinic these days. I only ask the last part because these programs are quite high in cost. Can someone make just as much becoming and LCSW? Any advice would be great! Thanks.
