Not usually. You would usually see your general practitioner for a referral to a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists specialise in the treatment of mental illness.

However, sometimes the psychiatrist might ask for a neurologist's opinion to rule out a possible differential diagnosis (for example, to check that the psychotic symptoms aren't related to temporal lobe epilepsy).
