It is always better if you consult a mental health professional like a psychiatrist who can even prescribe you medications if there's a need, which depends on the severity of your symptoms. If the severity of your symptoms are less, then counselling would help, but if the severity is more you would be needing medications too alongwith counselling. To diagnose you better and to provide you help at the earliest consult your nearest psychiatrist.
