You go to your General Practitioner (the Doctor Who you see for checkups) and ask for a referral to a psychiatrist. Explain why you think that you should see a psychiatrist. During your appointment with a psychiatrist, tell him/her that you think that you have a personality disorder and explain why. The psychiatrist will either ease your fears by telling you that you don't have a personality disorder or tell you that you have a personality disorder.
