Well, it wouldn't hurt. There's no shame in being diagnosed with depression or anxiety. There are medications that help a lot of people. I prefer to manage with minimal medications and more therapeutic support with a fair amount of cognitive behavioral therapy thrown in.

So you might want to get a thorough physical, and ask your gp if he/she thinks a referral would be of benefit.

(By the way, I made up the term shame attack. It is descriptive but it isn't in the diagnostic manual. My psychiatrist doesn't have a clue as to what I'm talking about.)

That being said, I still have a fair number of panic attacks and a few shame attacks, but I cope with them much better.
