Hi, yes, a psychiatrist can definitely diagnose and treat your symptoms.They can be due to anxiety disorders or sometimes be due to other medical conditions like thyroid disorders , which will need further investigations.
However, all the above conditions are treatable and recovery is possible.

Consult a psychiatrist.

Hi
A psychiatrist can definitely help by assessing whether medication or medical support is needed, especially since your symptoms have lasted a year and include physical changes like a 10kg weight gain. Therapy alongside treatment can help you regain balance, reduce anxiety, and rebuild your concentration systematically.
You don’t have to continue struggling or wait for it to get worse. With the right care psychiatric support for stabilizing symptoms and therapy for anxiety management, sleep regulation, and study coping strategies you can feel normal again, and even better than before. Early intervention will make recovery faster, and starting now could help you get back on track academically and emotionally. Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.
