Psychiatrist: I trust you're under the care of a psychiatrist. These disorders can be overwhelming if not well controlled. Cognitive behavioral therapy in conjunction with the appropriate medications and dosing are often needed to help you cope. Let your treating physician or psychiatrist know that you're still having issues.
