A good patient: The combination of a good therapist (or physician), good social/physical support, a well-chosen treatment and - very importantly - a good patient. Eventually, after you are really feeling strong in your ability to manage your thoughts more effectively, you can research the part chemistry of it. For now, just notice how you are feeling as you enjoy more freedom. You are doing a lot of what works!
