worth noting is that i will be seeing a general physician/doctor, and not a psychiatrist

anyway, how do i go about getting the most out of this visit? things i should/shouldn't do or mention? any other advice/tips?

it might seem like a good idea, but don't tell them that you have suicidal thoughts

what depressed person doesn't have thoughts of suicide, though?

won't it just be obvious i'm lying?


not to mention that thoughts of it really do plague my mind, and i wanna make sure that i'm prescribed the right stuff

am i risking being locked up in the ward or something?

I don't know about the doctor vs psychiatrist thing, but yes, it is possible to be depressed but not have suicidal thoughts. I say be honest. I did tell my psychiatrist that I wanted to kill myself and I was almost sent to the hospital against my will before I begged her not to, so it's..possible...?
