There is an attempt, a progress or reintegration taking place
found in small pockets of modern medicine. Some of our national
health systems are looking at it, but not near enough
now.
Sure. There are things that don't require a mental health
therapist. You accidentally break your leg and you need a cast and
maybe physical therapy. No mental health professional
required.
But for mind and body problems, maybe there should be a
stronger connection and support system.
This would require a far better health system than we have in
the United States of America. I cannot speak to other places.
I know other countries they have non-toxic accessible physical
health care systems.
I don't know if that's the same for mental health, so let's go
on and get to it.
So after you get your confirmation that you have a medically
diagnosed anxiety conditioner disorder, you have a lot of
information and decisions to make.
What are you supposed to do?
And what can you do?
Resources Mentioned:
To learn about the types of medications that are currently
prescribed by doctors you can visit the consumer version of
Merck Manuals.
To find non-medical ways of treatment,
Helpguide.org has an information
page about anxiety conditions. Their orientation is non-medical
first, medicine only if it is truly warranted.
If you have decided that medication is an option for you but
you are having trouble locating a psychiatrist there is a service
called
Cerebral.
The service a medication dispensing service that connects you
to a doctor and a person that will monitor your progress. Cerebral
works as a stand alone consumer service or you might be able to use
it as part of your insurance plan.
This is currently a U.S. only vendor at the moment. Cerebral
also has a therapy only option, you can check out the
FAQ on the vendor's website.
