You’ve done the right thing by asking here first. STW should always be your first port of call when it comes to anything medical, legal or pertaining to mental health issues.
If you can get a referral, then and only then should you approach a qualified professional. You can sift out less helpful answers by using the ‘I’m not…’ rule.
For example: ‘I’m not a nuclear scientist, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that nuclear fission can potentially be harmful to household pets, so if in doubt, lock them in the airing cupboard until the mushroom cloud has completely cleared’.
Since none of the replies here begin with the crucial phrase: ‘I’m not a doctor..’ I’d take them with a pinch of salt, since there’s always a danger that they may have some idea what they’re talking about.
You can also exempt TJ from this rule, since he is one of several STWers who is never wrong.
HTH.
