Hai madam, psychiatrist prescribes medicine and psychologist gives counselling (talk therapy) and there are several types in it. I think i answered your question.
1. Family itself is a organisation, so one gets disturbed and others also get disturbed, so it is understandable everyone gets disturbed.
2. Better to ask a professional rather than worrying about it allow it to become worse.
Next Steps
Meet someone who is expert in family and adolescent psychology , because it includes the development of your family.
Meet someone who understand your value system, rules and norms and doesn't speak western philosophy.
Health Tips
Don't make trial and error experiments madam. Meet clincial psychologist inperson.
All my very best for your family and you. Things will be better soon.

Hi there!
Hope you are managing well at your end.
In my opinion you should go with the Psychiatrist opinion first to frisk out if there is any physiological difficulty. If needed for sure they themselves will refer to the psychologist as per your needs.
Next Steps

Hi, I am sorry that you are going through tough time’s in life and feel the need to consult a psychiatrist or a psychologist. It’s wise to see a psychologist or a trained therapist at this stage because they can help you identify the core issue and based on your consultation with them they will be able to suggest if you need to consult a psychiatrist or not. I am not sure what the issue with your daughter is but it looks like the first step would be to visit the psychologist alone and seek counsel on the issue you are facing with her. Based on the recommendation, you as a couple might be counselled separately and therapy or counselling might be offered to your daughter. Be careful with suggesting therapy to your daughter, it looks like there is lack of trust right now between you as parent and her as child so I don’t know how she will react to any help that is coming through you as parents because right now you seem less than a friend to her. I know as a parent this hurts but it’s my job to tell you the best way to handle it. I am a hypnotherapist and I am happy to counsel you guys as a couple and your daughter as well if that is required. As parents you are doing the best and I would want you to trust that parenting is a tough job and it’s ok to make mistakes and learn.
Next Steps
I am happy to support you in any way that is required for you to move forward. Love and healing ❤️

Hello! If the therapy is for the couple (husband and wife as you say) I would recommend meeting a couple therapist (or a psychologist that handles couple related concerns).
A psychiatrist at this initial stage would not be recommended and if needed will be discussed in the later sessions.
Next Steps
Consult a couple therapist.

Hi,
You need to seek a couple counseling sessions and then later on depending on the problem the counselor might suggest if medicines are necessary.
In the later stage of counseling the counselor might also advise family counseling sessions which might include your daughter as well to improvise the bonding between the family and also to help your daughter with her stress.
