A member asked:

Can you advise for being anxious/nervous, do i need drugs or a doctor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many choices: I think it is a combination of the two. sometimes you need medicine to take the edge off while you learn new ways of thinking about things and new behaviors. generally if you combine the 2 you will have the best results.
