Would you choose a psychologist or a psychiatrist for treatment with dissociative convulsions?

Question

It started out with dissaciative amnesia (my diagnosis) until 14 years of age I blocked out most of my childhood. When parts of it started coming back to me I started experiencing anxiety attacks. With the 4th sexual abuse incedent a few months into my marriage I started passing out when stressed with any kind of emotion. When I became pregnant with my husbands child the convulsions started. They happend anywhere from 3 to 5 times a day to once every 3 months. It kept on like that for over two years. It took me until the end of last year to see someone where I was diagnosied with dissociative convulsions by a psychologist. Once the commute to see her became an imposition for my husband at work I had to stop seeing her and they suggest that I see a psychiatrist to get me on medication to speed up the process and basically stop the convulsions. What should I do? Please only respond if you know something about the disease.

Answer 1

I would choose a sexologist who would help me associate my convulsions with those of a sexy broad who likes to be convulsed.

Answer 2

For any mental issue, you need a psychiatrist to get prescribed meds, and a therapist for therapy. A therapist meaning a psychologist, MSW, or the like.

But please don't stop going.
