How do you go about getting treatment for depression?

I want to get checked out to see if what I have is just a chemical imbalance and if thats the cause of all this but where do I go? Who do I talk to?

A primary care physician, like the doctor you just go to for regular checkups. They can screen you and refer you to someone.

I would press them for a list of mental health workers so they don't just refer you to someone who benefits them.
Just a regular doctor is fine. They are the ones that are mainly treating depression anymore. The only reason you might need to see a psychiatrist is for an initial diagnosis. But a regular doc can then prescribe meds for you.
you should go to a doctor. they'll give you a referral if you need one.

Your doctor should be able to refer you.
Your doctor is your first point of contact...
