Hello everyone, 

First I would like to say I don’t know if this is the right place to put this (if not please let me know where to)

Im 20 years old and for a couple years now I have been dealing with depression and anorexia. It’s been a struggle and I’ve never told anyone but I’ve recently been really interested in getting a therapist as I think that can really help me out. However, I’m scared that talking about my anorexia (I’m very underweight) that can be cause due to “self harm” for them to make me see a doctor or something. As for the depression I would really like to not have to get put on medication or be admitted to the hospital for whatever reason. Would a therapist be able to do any of those or would that still be confidential information and stay between us?
