Medical and Psychological Help

There are a variety of treatments that work, both medical and psychological. Research indicates that a combination of medication and psychotherapy (counseling) is the most effective treatment for patients. Below are some resources.

Contact your doctor or a mental health specialist (psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker). If you want to receive coverage under your health insurance provider, you may need to see a primary care physician, who may refer you to a specialist. Check your policy guidelines.

If you do not have insurance, contact your state department of mental health.
