If there is a local mental health clinic near you, you could arrange to have a psychiatric evaluation done.
This could be done by a social worker. If the social worker thought medication was necessary, he/she would set up an appointment with a psychiatrist. Best Wishes

I think the psychiatrist is the best for depression and the clinician is for season disorder

Start with your family doctor and see if they can help you in prescribing an anti-depressant if needed. If that doesn't work, then ask that you be referred to a psychologist or psychiatrist.
Good luck!

You can talk to your regular doctor, first.... he may be able to help, and if not he will refer you to someone else.
Depression is a common illness, and doctors have become very familiar with it....
take care.

Please ignore the previous 3 answers. I do not mean to be rude to these people, but their advise is incomplete, wrong or dangerous. I will complete this answer by the end of the day.
