A member asked:

Who do i talk to about worry anxiety? if i take medicine they were to prescribe will i become addicted? i don't want that. where do i start?

Start with...: I say start with your primary care doctor. Medicines can help, and there are medicines available that you do not become dependent on! but your doctor may also refer you to someone for counseling, which can help and sometimes, with time, alleviate the need for prescriptions! good luck.
