they shouldn't think you're lying if they're a good doctor! and it's only ever seen as lying when it's benzodiazepines in my experience. no need to worry! definitely advocate for yourself to get the treatment you need <3

They won’t. Depression medications are not addictive/commonly abused substances. Definitely talk to your doctor, they will either be able to prescribe something or refer you to a psychiatrist. Don’t be afraid. Just be honest and tell your story. Proud of you for seeking the care that you need! 💖

Yeah, definitely don’t ask for those outright. A doctor will prescribe them if they feel you need them. Typically they are only used on a short term basis.
