Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Anxiety meds: Please talk w/your family doctor. There are meds not linked to cancer. You concern about that may be due to your anxiety. A clinical psychologist can teach you ways to manage your anxiety behaviorally; a psychiatrist is an expert on psych meds. Peace and good health.
