Anxiety disorder
I am 26 years old. I have been suffering form severe anxiety disorder (I feel I have social anxiety disorder)since maybe like when I was 14-15 year old. I never got diagnosed for it and due to that my life is completely going down. But now after going through it all by myself I cannot take this anymore. Life just feel meaningless to me. I want go to seek professional help. But I am highly anxious to do so. How should I decide whom to seek. Do I need to visit a psychiatrist or a psychologist or should I see them both since I have severe anxiety. Please tell me I am feeling very helpless?
