Only your doctor: Can rule out the medical causes of fatigue, and if you are medically cleared, she will be able to refer you to a psychiatrist in your area.

R/o physical symptom: Fatigue can be a symptom of depression, physical ailment or both. In order to diagnose depression, physical problems need to be ruled out. I would recommend going to your primary care doctor and have a full check up. If everything is fine, or if there's a physical ailment, i would still recommend contacting mental health provider to help you cope with your symptoms.
