Hi, I have depression. excessive daydreaming. Lack of interest in study, pain in my front side of forehead when I daydream a lot. Can not sleep easily and wake up early. One psychologist diagnose me with severe depression. She offered me 65000 rs package. But I do not have that much money. I diagnosed with a psychiatrist but he gave me medicine. I had fear with these also my mother is also diagnosed with same. Which one should I choose. psychiatrist - less cost, effective,but side effect,(my mother still taking medicines from 12 years) psychologist - effective (i think your opinion needed), very costly, no side effect. Please suggest if you had treatment for above Please comment.

Get a written declaration from the psychologist of he will cure with the 65000 rupees package. Seems like a quack. No one will charge so much up front for therapy or treatment for depression. You have to understand if your mother has depression, genetically you are also prone for the same. Depression needs to be treated with a combination of medications and cognitive behavior therapy. All the best.
