Mental Health

Had a checkup today and it was a wake up sign that I need mental help for depression and anxiety-- I filled out the forms truthfully this time (usually lie) and they didnt even get brought up and I was like k cool I need to help myself. How helpful is the mental health access center line? How scary? I'm interested in an appt with a psychiatrist because counseling has not helped me in the past, but I'm willing to try again.
