Severe anxiety and hopelessness since 6m
I have been going through an extreme mental turmoil since 5-6 months.
I have lost interest in everything.
Facung fatigue, constant anxiety and other health issues.
I was on a dose of etizolam 0.5 but that didnt help much.
Should I consult a psychologist or a psychiatrist further?

Yes you need to consult a psychiatrist first for detailed evaluation and to reach a diagnosis. Once the medicines are prescribed, your psychiatrist might recommend you to a therapist for psychotherapy depending on your complaints and progress.

Feeling low, having crying spells, sleep and appetite disturbances, and difficulty in concentration and attention are some of the signs of Depression. Consult a Psychiatrist for a detailed assessment. It is likely with medication and counselings the symptoms will improve. If you are feeling suicidal or hopeless consult a Psychiatrist immediately.
