He/she will likely discuss your life history, what sort of relationships you have with your parents and peers, if there is any history of psychiatric illness in your family or drug/alcohol abuse etc. Essentially trying to form an image of how you are as a person, and the psychosocial factors and personality traits involved in the determination of your disposition and attitude towards life.
Don't hide any thoughts or feelings about what you're experiencing. State in very explicit terms what you feel is troubling you. If you need treatment immediately, indicate the meds you've tried without success. I'd assume some suggestions would be Nardil or Parnate, maybe Doxepin.
