Hi. You can visit either of the two. Depending on a detailed evaluation , you may require only psychotherapy or medicines+psychotherapy. If your problems are mild, then only psychotherapy will be enough. A psychologist will be able to do evaluation and psychotherapy. A psychiatrist in addition to the above will be able to prescribe medicines if required. Look at the available options in your area and plan the consultation. Regards.
