Consult Psychiatrist or Psychologist?
I had opted for a session in person with a psychiatrist, I told them about my issues about panic regarding fear of death, some issues were of social anxiety, she prescribed me a Escnx-5mg, some of the anxiety is calmed, she also told she would be counselling me but whenever I tell her my issues she says medicine will work and changing the routine will work, after 10 days, i again went at her clinic and told that even After taking meds for a week, I'm unable to get rid of panic i want to improve personality, I tell her that something always bother me but there isn't any specific reason, she just says that I need to change routine and continue meds, she is sweet and listens but I'm looking for someone who understands deeper and root issues, why I have it, I know death is inevitable and nothing can be done which is the same thing she told me but I was unable to understand this is why I considered professional help. I'm looking for personality development help,skills
..need advice.

Hi Ma’am, after reading your symptoms and concerns i would suggest for you to seek therapy. To share/ vent- the role of psychiatrist isn’t great. They are bound to just prescribe medications but therapy would be a great idea in your case where you can openly share without any judgements and discover a lot about yourself. You can reach out to me for same.

It sounds like you're seeking more comprehensive support and understanding for your anxiety issues, including addressing root causes and exploring personality development. It's important to find a therapist who can offer you the depth of insight and guidance you're looking for. While medication can help manage symptoms, therapy can provide valuable tools for addressing underlying issues and developing coping strategies.
Consider seeking out a counseling psychologist or therapist who specializes in anxiety and personality development. They can work with you to explore your concerns more deeply, understand the root causes of your anxiety, and help you develop skills and strategies to manage it effectively.
If you're interested, I offer affordable online counseling sessions through Mind Sculpt, and I'd be happy to discuss your needs further and see if we might be a good fit for working together.
