Answer:
Note: your insurance may require you to start with your GP, and then be referred to a specialist.

definitely. A psychiatrist would be the best person to go to. But like Tony said, be prepared to end up going to a GP then getting reffered.

Or can I just go to a GP? A psychiatrist....not a GP. If your insurance requires your GP refer you, then fine, but take absolutely no medication from a GP, only take seriously what a psychiatrist tells you. I mean, if you had heart disease would you go to the eye doctor? No, you'd go to a cardiologist - same principle applies.
