Should you need it (depression often occurs periodically) find a good Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT) therapist. Usually have MA/MS or PhD/PsyD. They can help with depression or anxiety, at half the cost you noted above.

It is equal or better than medications, and has a long empirical history evidenced by thousands of studies. Just FYI, many psychiatrists are poorly trained in therapy, though as always there are good ones out there that can do both.

Thank you for the recommendation. CBT has indeed been helpful… it’s interesting how adjusting one’s thinking and belief system can have profound effects on good mental health.
