Psychotherapy: First, make sure you've had a thorough health evaluation with your family doctor. If all is well, know that psychotherapy with an experienced therapist may help you both understand and deal with these feelings in yourself. Medications alone usually do not work as well as combined approaches. Please ask your doctor for a therapist referral -- others in your community may know of helpful ones too.

Depakote: Wondering if your Depakote dosage was recently increased, if other medications added, & if Depakote blood level is within the therapeutic range. Please discuss with your prescribing doc.
