Clinical Psychologists and Psychiatrists. Your family doctor is not adequately trained in mental health skills. ***I have to respectfully disagree about the family doctor statement...If you know your physician well and for a number of years, they are most certainly in a position to diagnose a general depression and they are certainly qualfied to prescribe a medication to help (if needed). A general practicioner, internist, family doctor, etc is, in fact, adequately enough trained to prescribe you an anti-depressant. However, if your depression is severe, you will need treatment for the chemical imbalance of depression as well as therapeutic sessions with a person qualified to help you work through your personal issues successfully. You may do this with the help of your family doctor and a psychotherapist, for example OR you can go directly to a psychiatrist, as they can prescribe meds, if needed. Most physchologists can NOT...(you are looking for an M.D.) But, for mild depression that you cannot seem to shake on your own, but you don't really need therapy for, your family doc can provide you with a low dose anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medication to use until you are feeling back to normal. (we all go through rough times, but it doesn't mean we need a 'shrink') I had a family doctor that helped me tremendously in my late teens and I know many others who've had the same experience. If you doc isn't sure how to help you or you don't feel like you can get to the root of the problem with a pill, ask for a referral to see a therapist or psychiatrist***

Depending on what is the nature of the test. If a Doctor prescribes it to you then i wouldn't think you would be punished for it. However if your test is for example the military you may want to be sure the condition your doctor is treating you for does not exclude you from the military on medical grounds.
