Depress & Anxiety: and agoraphobia require more than medication. Please see a mental health professional who can treat you. Cognitive therapy is one possibility. Also see www.relaxationresponse.org for a self-help technique. Inch out of your room in baby steps bit by bit. Peace and good health.

Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as anxiety or depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.
