Answers:

Talk to your GP. They can refer you to be evaluated if they feel it's necessary. If the psychology they refer you to, feels you need further treatment or help then they can refer you to whomever they think will help best. It could be a psychiatrist (if you DO have schizophrenia) or a psychologist/counselor if they think it is less severe.

You will have to describe your worries or symptoms in detail and with complete honesty for them to be able to diagnose you correctly.



Self diagnosis or diagnosis by a non-professional is usually wrong. Consult your GP physician for an opinion and a possible referral to a psychiatrist.
