I was told that i had tactile defensiveness years ago. i'm now 33 w/anxiety, depression, epilepsy and hormonal imbalances. what do i treat first?

Complex: "Tactile Defensiveness" is not a formal diagnosis but might be a good description of a behavioral state. First-to-treat depends on severity. Usually, if depression is suicidal then that has first priority. If not, seizures usually have first priority first unless stable and rare. The main goal is to keep you out of trouble - treating highest risk first.
