Are you without insurance? It sounds as though you did go to a psychiatrist for treament--when was that?
I would say you need to see a neurologist. The fact that is was fairly sudden warrants a visit to a specialist. Find out the costs for a consultation if you have no insurance, and budget for it. Most likely, it will take a while to get in to see the doctor anyways, so schedule first, then start budgeting.
Also
-Begin making a recount of your story and list of symptoms:
When did it occur? Write in detail. What did you notice first?
When did the depression start?
Is something different physically, ex. muscular weakness anywhere?
Describe symptoms as specifically as possible. Any pattern? What is hardest to remember? What seems to be still OK (did NOT change)?
Also, what do other people say to you about this?My doctors have always been very happy when I give them a list of what medications I had when, what my symptoms are...
It must be not only frustrating but very scary.
Did you get to work yesterday?
Glad you're here.
