Most psychiatrists only handle the medication end. You should get a good therapist who can teach Cognitive Behavioral skills. This is a method which helps you to unlearn old unhealthy coping habits and replace them with new healthier ones. Then, your psychiatrist can help you get your medications straightened out so that you get maximum benefit with fewest side effects.

Bipolar Disorder can be Treated With Medication?
Bipolar disorder can be treated with medication, but it can take time to find just the right combination of medications. A psychiatrist will evaluate your symptoms and determine which types of medications can be beneficial. Take your medication exactly as prescribed, and tell your doctor if you start to feel worse or have thoughts of suicide or harming yourself or others. Continue taking your medication, even if you start to feel better.
What should you do if you think you have OCD and trichotillomania because you fantasize things not sexual and you don't want to see a shrink because you decided to stop seeing your father?
It's wise to see a psychologist (does not prescribe drugs, but can speak with your doctor if they feel you need medication) or a psychiatrist (can prescribe drugs). In this stress related world of today there are millions of Americans and Canadians that suffer from various forms of depression, obsessive compulsive disorders, anxiety, panic attacks and Agoraphobia. A good psychologist/psychiatrist can get the patient treated either through medications (just a band-aid) and other forms of treatment such as Cognitive Therapy (it works because I've taken the course and it's learning tools to handle stress. I use it to this day.) Good luck
