Advice for a hypochondriac
Who should a hypochondriac patient see?? A psychologist or a psychiatrist, how much time will it take to get over this illness?
Answers (3)
In my opinion both has equal importance. However a Psychiatrist can confirm the diagnosis and advise medications as well. If the diagnosis is confirmed then you can also go for dual therapy.
Psychiatrist is a medical doctor who has done specialization in Psychiatry
Psychologist is one who specialises in therapy and counseling
Both are equally important in their own fields
Next Steps
First consult me or any Psychiatrist to confirm your diagnosis.
