Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. I believe that you might need to consult both a psychiatrist as well as a psychologist if you feel like you are having all the symptoms your describe. You might fit into a diagnosis of Depression, Bipolar Disorder or PTSD depending on the kind of symptom presentation you have when you meet with and interview with a psychiatrist and a psychologist. Treatment may be two pronged, both medications and therapy. I wish you the very best in your recovery.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
