So guys, I'm here to ask you, how often do psychiatrists give pills to their patients? I'm asking this because I have no will to do anything whatsoever with my life and I'm starting to think that I have chronic depression/apathy. The point is that I live in Italy though, so I don't know if here are prone like in the US to give pills to everyone and their mothers
Thoughts? I don't wanna go there just for some guy to tell me "eheh have you tried any sports? Studying something you like?" so that he can do his kikery and spill me money

They prescribe pills to 99.9% of people that walk in the door

Tell them you have a job where you can't focus anymore and that peoples lives depend on you. Also state to them that you are not feeling all that motivated and happy anymore.

I have no job, still studying at uni, living with my patents (again, Italian here, it's incredibly common and those who go study abroad/in other cities get their rent paid by their parents, no one ever gets any loan)
But I'm starting to feel anxious with my life. I'm doing shit at uni because I never properly study (often I don't study at all), but at the same time I don't want to do a shitty job (or any job if that matters). I feel like my life is stagnating, but I have no willpower to do anything about it. I start to study, 10 minutes later I already have had enough and I wanna do other stuff. So I don't know what the fuck to do.
I would love to want to study/work... Believe me... I just don't want to
Very dependent on where you live.
In America in takes a 10 min conversation with almost any doctor, doesn't have to be a psychiatrist. This is from books I've read/gaming friends telling me their experience.
Canada.. usually you get referred by a doctor to a psychiatrist. Most are pretty easy going with starting one on meds. From my experience.
I've also noticed the responses changed as I got older. As a teen they told me to exercise. 20+ meds
Hope this helps.
I'd say remember that meds aren't the magical fix all. They've helped me when I needed help but they stop being as effective usually.. and then doctors change this and that and it never helped how it did originally no matter what was changed. But everyone is different
