It doesn't mean you're crazy. A mental illness does not automatically label you as crazy. It is no worse than someone having a cold or a flu. It is a series of symptoms that point to an illness of some sort. it wouldn't hurt to try, a phychiatrist (NOT psychologist) is a trained and licensed MÉDICAL doctor, they have gone to medical school and trained in other things, which means physical ailments they may also be able to see and point you to other medical practitioners that can help.
There is a stigma following any idea of a mental illness. A mental illness doesn't mean anything other than you have an illness that needs to be treated - it's okay to reach out. Hell, it might at least knock something off your list of possibilities.
