Highly effective: Current available medications, especially the selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor meds such as prozac/zoloft/lexapro/celexa etc.. Are quite effective and safe. There are many others as well, and along with cognitive/behavioral therapy can be quite helpful in controlling your symptoms. It is a frustrating disease, but quite treatable. Best of luck to you.

History and status: Step one is for your doctor to understand your condition, both its history and current status. After that, he/she will make diagnosis and recommend a treatment plan. Part of that discussion will include therapeutic options and what outcome to expect. You should try to take things a step at a time. Big step already being made to see a doctor. Good move!
