Psychologist is a behavioural therapist and psychiatrist is medical doctor in related to psychiatric disorders. In your case psychologist is the best person. There is no need of medication. Psychiatry medicine has side effects. There is no side effects of psychological counselling. You can continue your regular work after consultation of psychologist. There is no other problems. You need behaviour therapy and lifestyle modification and psychotherapy. Better to consult a very good psychologist. Please do go medicine. It leads to some other problems. Ok best of luck. My best wishes.
