Your symptoms can be controlled with cognitive behavior therapy. You should request to be seen by a psychologist or psychiatrist with expertise in cognitive behavior therapy. Good luck!

Fully agree with Dr. Le, as you need to be proactive and address your emotional issues ASAP. Although prefer to use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy as the core treatment, have found these adjunctive approaches also of value: Biofeedback Therapy, Meditation, Aerobic Exercise, and Hypnosis. Medications may help acutely but should be AVOIDED chronically, as tolerance is an issue.
