Hello there,

I found this:

"psychiatrists are more centered on medication and diagnosis, and clinical psychologists are more involved in the psychological treatments such as cognitive behaviour therapy."

I must say I'm a bit surprised that your GP has left it up to you to decide - I'd ask again for some advice.

Hope you get sorted - let us know eh?
