What about medication?
This, again, is a personal decision. Depending on your situation, medication may be an option you wish to consider. Generally speaking, psychotherapy provides longer-term benefit than medication, but the effects of medication are sometimes felt sooner. For people who are in acute distress, both together are often recommended. Of course, it is possible to start with one and add the other later. If you want to try medications, I can recommend a psychiatrist. If you are currently under a doctor's care, we can discuss how to coordinate your care.
