Hi there ~
The urge to clear the bowels is what we medically call tenesmus and it is a condition that needs treatment. I would think that you should visit with a psychiatrist only after you have ruled out all medical and surgical causes for tenesmus or the urge to clear your bowels regularly, more so if it is affecting your functioning. I think that you should also consult with your family physician to see if you need referrals that are appropriate after testing.
I hope this helped. Take care and have a lovely day !
