Thanks! Fortunately I'm not that bad to the point of being miserable. 3 years ago I tried lexapro for 3-6 months. It worked somewhat but was more of a bandaid. Beyond medication, I'm not quite sure what else a doctor can do that a councillor can't provide.

I'm hesitant to suggest this, but I struggled with anxiety and depression for a long time

In my early 30s I was diagnosed with ADHD. I was put on a mild stimulant (low dose of concerta) and my anxiety was almost immediately gone

It is possible that your anxiety is a comorbid of another problem that you are struggling with, it is worth exploring at least
