what type of doctor should i see?

Question

ok so im trying to find out what kind of doctor will be most beneficial for me to see. in a nut shell, whats wrong is: ive had eating disorders since i was a kid, i may be depressed (could just be from hating my body), i smoke weed all the time (alone most of the time), my dad died unexpectedly 2 years ago, and i was molested once (which i have convinced myself im just being dramatic about and it happens all the time to girls).. please dont be mean, im trying to get help and i just want to know the best type of doctor for me to go to. thanks for the help in advance

You should see a social worker, psychologist or a psychiatric nurse practitioner.  Molestation does NOT happen all the time.  It is great that you are ready to get help.  The counselors I suggested (other than a nurse practitioner) cannot prescribe medication, but they will be able to assess if that may be a need for you and refer you to a psychiatrist.

Go to your family doctor. He will point you in the right direction. Just remember medication is a cover up. It will not fix the problem, it will help with depression. Being molested is something you will never get over, but you can live with it. mind over matter! It takes time, you need a good friend to talk to. Bless you & I hope you find a way to over come your worries.

well im in the UK and here we would go to see our own GP who would then send us to see who they thought could help.
sorry i do not know how it works in the States but you do not need a Doctor of any kind to tell you that smoking weed is doing you no good
