Unfortunately, my psychiatrist doesn’t prescribe meds. He only does ‘talk’ therapy.

With all due respect find another psychiatrist. Unless you want to spend weeks, months and years rehashing your childhood traumas only to realize that depression and anxiety are no different than hearing loss and are genetic you are wasting your time and money.
The medications for treating depression have come so far and have changed so many peoples lives.
Depression and anxiety affect people from all walks of life. It doesn’t matter how much money you make or how successful you are. Some of the most prominent people in our history suffered from depression.
Lincoln, Churchill and Hemingway to name just a few.
Just be grateful that we now have effective drugs to treat it with even better drugs on the horizon.
Best of luck to you but quite honestly talk therapy is like going to see a chiropractor. Once you start seeing them they have a patient for life.
This is my humble opinion.
Good luck to you.

A psychiatrist prescribes meds
A psychologist cannot prescribe meds.

Either you have an incompetent psychiatrist or you’re actually only seeing a psychologist.

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor.
A psychologist is not a medical doctor.

Which do you have?
