I used to deal with a lot of (primarily) social anxiety and some perfectionism. Finally got over my fear and found a therapist. She helped me out so much. Had a lot of life changes around that time as I figured things out. And there was some other stuff like depression but ultimately she helped me get from a place I didn't like to being much better jn my own skin.
For anyone who was raised or who perceives a stigma around seeking mental health, I highly recommend it if you're struggling with something. And if the first therapist you meet doesn't feel right, it's totally fair to tell them and ask for suggestions on other therapists. When I switched therapists after 1 session with new one I told her as we ended that I didn't think her style worked for me. She was gracious and pointed me to another therapist who was a much better fit.
As for AMA. Do you see depression in patients with anxiety and desire for perfectionism often?
