ANXIETY: Is your medication prescribed by a Psychiatrist - that is best. Please consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy to help you with ZOOM.com sessions. Your fears and anxiety could be heightened because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe, cautious & hold on to hopefulness to elevate your immune system.
