Answers:

You could see a psychologist or psychiatrist or even a therapist with a master's degree. However, your situation sounds serious enough that you could benefit from prescription medication, and only a psychiatrist has an M.D. and the authority to prescribe drugs. Other therapists may work in conjunction with a psychiatrist, so if a therapist feels you need a prescription, he/she could discuss your case with his/her psychiatrist colleague and the psychiatrist could write you a prescription. If you're really unsure of which professional to consult, your family doctor could steer you in the right direction and perhaps recommend a practitioner who would be suitable.

Best of luck to you; I hope you find some relief.
