Treatment of choice: is CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) or REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) coupled with a meds check. Benzo's offer relief but at a price. Be careful of developing dependence, and then sleeplessness when you stop. But, if the sx's are severe enough, a benzo would be OK (benefits outweigh the risks). Consult with a psychiatrist for the meds and a psychologist for therapy.

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.
