Start with your PCP, who can check you thoroughly to see if you have any physical problems that may have triggered your current trouble. He or she may feel comfortable treating you or may refer you to a psychiatrist that she/he knows & trusts. If you drink alcohol, use drugs and/or caffeine, stop them now as they can make things worse. If you feel like hurting yourself, or others, call 988.
