Firstly,Psychiatrist- doctor (MD/DPM , MBBS) Psychologist- MA (clinical psychology) , not a doctor but a mental health professional experienced in testing related to psychology and counselling Secondly, confirming doubts over and over again is part of ocd that has occurred now suddenly and wasnt there before. But for definite diagnosis in-person psychiatrist consultation is required. Ocd is treated with medicines and counselling. Ocpd and ocd can occur together in some individuals.
