Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have experienced several life changes in the past few months: miscarriage, engagement, relocation from the city to a more rural area. I have gained about 15 lbs and am really struggling with feelings of depression. I have some physical symptoms of pain in my neck, my left shoulder lower left back and my left leg. I am also having some headaches- could be stress related. Should I see a psych. or a PC MD? Any suggestions?
In my opinion, a consultation with a psychiatrist would help you more. All the symptoms you have described are common in depression and will improve with treatment for depression.
Best wishes.
