Dear mam Thank you for your query. Anxiety and depression issues are treated by both psychiatrist and psychologist. The difference being that of you need medication for treatment it can only be given by a psychiatrist. So please see either a psychiatrist or a psychologist for a detailed evaluation and further management.
