I read that nowadays most psychiatrist are only concerned about prescribing meds. So should I first see a psychologist instead? I've take a lot of online tests & always score extremely high for:

1. Avoidant Personality Disorder
2. Borderline Personality Disorder
3. Social Anxiety Phobia
4. ADHD/ADD

My main concern is work. I work alone so #1 & #3 above aren't so bad except it's lonely. It's painful to sit still unless I'm doing something like online shopping.

Unfortunately I'm a software developer for my present 2 year long project. Best solution I've found so far is to take my laptop to different places outdoors. Work for a half to 1 hour, take a break, go to another location, repeat.

My roaming laptop method may help but maybe a psychologist could find a better solution, or maybe refer me to a psychiatrist for meds.

Given what my online mental disorder tests show, do you think I should see a psychiatrist or a psychologist?
