I have extreme hypochondria, i'm convinced i have melanoma and feels anxious all the time even, even thought a dermatologist told me not to worry help?

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.
