I think this is a confusion which many people have, and due to lack of answers and clarity on this are automatically discouraged from seeking help. Articles like these can help to provide clarity about whom to approach and hence help kickstart the process. I would like to add though that it might have been more helpful to also throw some light on when to approach whom ? by highlighting certain situations/symptoms which different professional are more suited to address and hence to approach them.
