Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Do you have other: health concerns or has your focus shifted from one possible problem area to another? Stay in touch w/your docs. If you are generally anxious you can consider seeing a clinical psychologist. Anxiety can manifest in bodily fears and concerns. Peace and good health.
