Hi... You should consult a Psychologist first. Even if you visit a Psychiatrist, s/he will refer you to a Psychologist. Medications are never the first response in issues created out of psychosocial factors. They are used when it is absolutely necessary, especially when a threat to life is perceived. In cases where the condition is such that Counselling alone would not be able to do anything, like in a case of psychotic illnes for example, medications are used to correct the neurochemical imbalance caused by an illness/condition. Even in such cases, the treatment of issues created out psychosocial factors are addressed through Counselling/Psychotherapy. The treatment is based on the cause and severity of symptoms and it is not a measure of severity of an illness.
Next Steps
