Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Anti-anxiety: Medication can play a role in helping w/your anxiety and other symptoms but please do not overlook behavioral interventions. These can include modalities such as biofeedback, clinical hypnosis and self-hypnosis training (see www.asch.net) and therapy from a professional who specializes in mood disorders. See www.relaxationresponse.org for some self-help. Peace and good health.
