I have been medicated before and hate being so.... I would rather speak with a therapest and see if my problem can be fixed that way! Thanks
If you mean counselor as in talk therapist then clearly a psychiatrist is preferable as only they can prescribe medications. A therapist if they facilitate a person taking medication does so under the direction of a psychiatrist so its best to see a psychiatrist if you have to choose between the two.
Counselors are not doctors nor can they prescribe medications. Psychiatrists are medical doctors, can prescribe medications, and are best at helping you with your problems.
