I am having severe depression problems and can't stay like this any longer. I need to know a good family Dr in Fort Myers (33903) that can treat depression and has good bedside manner. Preferably someone it doesn't take forever to get into. I really think I need medication and I definitely need help.
Need good family Dr to treat depression (33903)?

The Bible acknowledges that those who are sick need a physician. (Luke 5:31) So if you suffer from a debilitating mood disorder, there is nothing wrong with seeking medical attention. The Bible also emphasizes the value of prayer. For example, Psalm 55:22 says: “Throw your burden upon Jehovah himself, and he himself will sustain you. Never will he allow the righteous one to totter.” Prayer is not a psychological crutch; it is real communication wit God, who is “near to those that are broken at heart.”—Psalm 34:18. When you get to know the true God of the bible Jehovah (Psalm 83:18) you will have more confident he hears you. Even if you do not know him well when you pray call on his name. You may also benefit by confiding your feelings to a close friend. (Proverbs 17:17). A friend of mine who have benefited from studying the bible and gain accurate understanding what the bible REALLY teach, gently coaxed me to talk about my depression. Although I had been avoiding such a conversation for years, I soon realized that this was what I needed all along. I was surprised at how relieved I felt afterward.
