1. Your Family Doctor:
If you think that may be suffering from depression, make
an appointment with your family doctor. At the beginning
of your visit, ask your family doctor if you might be suffering
from depression. If your family doctor thinks that you are
suffering from depression, he/she will give you advice about
what to do. If your family doctor needs a second opinion
about your illness, he or she may send you to a psychiatrist,
a specialist in this area of medicine.

3. Local Hospital Emergency Room
If you are seriously thinking about ending your own life,
you must see a doctor right away. You may go to your local

doctor right away. If your relative is talking about killing
himself or herself, you can call their family doctor or the
hospital emergency room. They will give you advice about what
to do.
