Brief Answer:
Iron supplements would help

Detailed Answer:
You can take iron supplements to improve your hemoglobin level. I would not label your inability to give up your habit of eating raw rice as a 'psychology problem' but definitely its a problem and you need to make yourself psychologically strong to be able to deal with it.
