Default Neuropsych or Psychiatrist?

I saw my primary physician yesterday regarding my headaches and PCS symptoms. She feels I am depressed and need to see a psychiatrist. She said that psychiatrists are certified in both neuro and regular medicine. I feel that I am having problems with my head because of the injury. Will a psychiatrist be able to distinguish whether my symptoms are coming from a head injury, antidepressants I am on, or my seizure medicine. This is all new to me, but I find that I don't have very much patience and want to make sure that I am going to the right person the first time.

Thanks for any advice.
