Specializes in Psychiatry

CBT book: See your md/do for accurate diagnosis. Could purchase a book on cognitive behavioral therapy such as the feeling good workbook by david burns - and begin working on it. Acupuncture, acupressure, yoga, tai chi. Psychiatric medications are sometimes indicated.

See another type...: A psychiatrist, social worker etc, a mental health professional is in your best interest: there is no shame in needing to see one, they are trained to help you, with behavioral or medicinal models you can be greatly helped; and there is no reason to"boot strap" yourself to mental health. We all need help in our lives at one time or another, myself included. Enjoy the rest of your life!
