A wide range of professionals and organizations can help

Healthcare professionals diagnose and treat clinical depression and generalized anxiety disorder in a variety of settings. Family physicians, clinics, and health maintenance organizations can provide treatment or make referrals to mental health specialists.

Mental health specialists include psychiatrists, psychologists, family therapists, social workers, mental health counselors, and psychiatric nurses. Psychiatrists can prescribe antidepressant drugs because they are physicians. Other mental health specialists, however, often work with physicians to ensure that their patients receive the medicines they need.

Community mental health centers, which often provide treatment based on the patient's ability to pay, usually have a variety of mental health specialists.

Hospitals and university medical schools may have research centers that study and treat depression and generalized anxiety disorder.
