Thinking of going for therapy.
But I am confused if I should go to a Psychologist or Psychiatrist ?
Any suggestions?

Psychologique ofc
Okay! Thanks!
Like I had shortlisted a psychologist already.
But I had the doubt coz someone I know had gone to a psychiatrist. So I got confused.
I also remembered one other friend who had gone to therapy and asked her the same just now she told that a psychologist helps to open up.
Probably I’ll go for psychologist only.
Thanks! : )
As said like I have searched and just selected a therapist. Yet to call and book an appointment coz a bit scared idk. But I’ll definitely start in this month. 😅
Thanks! : )
Btw where are you from ?

I’ll try to help!
If you don’t mind, what is the reason (even generically) that is pushing you to go to a professional?
So basically I have self esteem issues.
I hate myself. Even though being a professional I still have many doubts on my abilities. Also I can’t focus on my work like I am unable to work as per my to do list. Plus I am an overthinker so I have messed up my relationships with friends and do not have a good relation with family even though they are nice to me. About a year or two back I have started smoking and drinking. Like it would have been okay I am going on drinks with friends. But I go and drink alone. So that’s that and I can’t think much.
Sometimes idk I feel as if do I really need therapy or I am just being stupid or lazy. Ugh.

A psychologist might be enough for you
But if you feel that you focus issue and dependencies are more strong than “misbehaving” a psychiatrist might find if it’s a mental illness or something else
Misbehaving as in? Didn’t get the point
Ko0ei @ko0ei
There are tendencies that are more common in people with mental illnesses (ex.: sostance abuse)
Do some research.
Try to figure out if smoking and drinking was “casual”
Oh okay!
Thanks for your help! : )
