hi Milli, i am in the UK ,
if you find it difficult to tell this to your doc then may i suggest you write a letter to him/her. put in it all the things you wrote in the post at the begining, also put in that you request to be referred to your local CMHT (community mental health team) with the aim of being assessed by a psychologist/psychiatrist.
if this does not get a response then you can always call your local Adult services and request a self referral to be assessed by a psychologist/psychiatrist.

whenever i have important stuff to say/ask at a meeting with my medical or care team i always write it in a letter then hand it to them at the start of the meeting. they always seem pretty impressed by this as it helps them shape the rest of the meeting to best meet my needs.

i hope this helps
