Brief Answer:
You need to see a psychiatrist
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
Since there is multiple disorders, there is high possibility that you will need prescription which can be issued by psychiatrist only. I think you first need to see a psychiatrist.
In case he deems necessary for psychologist intervention he will guide you appropriately.
In case you feel you do not want medication and willing for psychotherapeutic course of treatment you can see a psychologist.
I hope this answers you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
