Therapy Session are not free. Maham portal is just for you to see the options about whom you can contact for therapy. The forum is good way to gauge how professionals respond and what kind of solution there may be for you out there.

Basically you will need to book an appointment for a doctor/specialist via this platform and then see what the procedure is. It is a costly treatment like with any other doctor or specialist.

Now about your family reason; Its my understanding from what I have read so far that once this reason is out in the open in front of your chosen therapist, you can and you will be able to deal with it properly.

Brain is a complex thing. And emotions are even more confusing, but to straighten them out and to help you understand what is causing which issue, sessions are a must. And one session of 60 minutes will not be enough. Maybe you will require two sessions in a week and maybe for 1 whole month or more... its hard to say about it at this point. But I can say for surety that you need to speak about the family reason with a trained professional in front of you.

You also need to understand the basic and fundamental difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist. I am a psychologist; I am not a medical doctor/MD and I am not authorised to prescribe medicines. Meanwhile, a psychiatrist is a medical doctor/MD and s/he is authorised to prescribe medicine. You may think why people then prefer a psychologist? Then the answer is that a psychologist is only trained from the start to the end to deal with problems and issues related to psychology of humans. My Dr status is actually a PhD doctorate not an MD.

In your second reply you mentioned that your health is not good. I only know of Yoga (not aerobics) and proper Yoga that has the capability of strengthening nerves. I have done it and I have benefited a lot from it. So, start Yoga... it should bring about some positive changes like giving you your hunger back. Yoga will improve your sleep and give you healthy sleep. It will strengthen your nervous system and give you healthy energy. Once you have done yoga for 1-2 weeks, then begin gym or anything else further.
