Should I See A Counsellor, A Psychologist, Or A Psychiatrist?

The most important factor in who you decide to see to help
with your problems and issues, is that YOU decide who
you would like to see.

 
Some things to consider in making the decision:

Find someone you feel comfortable with.

Psychiatrists may be more helpful where there is a serious
mental illness.

Psychiatrists can prescribe medications where they are
needed.

Counsellors may charge less than psychologists and almost
certainly charge less than psychiatrists.

Counsellors and psychologists may do more 'talk therapy'.

The 'right' therapist can be a matter of 'chemistry'.

Someone you don't feel comfortable with, or who you don't
feel is sympathetic to your life, IS NOT the right person (for
you)...you can do better.

Don't trust your life and your story to someone who doesn't
respect you.
