You definitely can take medication, but what is required most is therapy. A number of sessions will really help you uncover your negative feelings in the loop of negative thought because we need to address the root issue that is causing you to discomfort and until unless you process your feelings and break up that happen, only medicines will not really help because the wound needs to be cleaned from inside. So don’t worry about you know not being able to express. We don’t have to rush. We can take it session by session and help you improve all the best.
