see a psychologist first, they will know if you need to be redirected to a psychiatrist, if you need medications!. why spend more if you don't need to!? b/c psychiatrist's cost more!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You can actually see your family doctor for anxiety and depression, if he feels it's beyond his scope of care he will refer you to whoever he thinks would best help you!.
As far as choosing between a psychologist and psychiatrist - if you are looking for medication to be prescribed you'll need to see a psychiatrist - if you want someone to talk to (like a counselor) you'll want to see a psychologist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
