What To Do For Anxiety?

Hello, for 2 years I have had social anxiety, brain fog & anxiety, i also have bloating, gas & stomach acid, I was on tablets for 5 years for the acid. I also have a small lump in the neck (half way in between the ear & throat) not painful & very small, the hospital have done biopsy and its ok. I have done research and having help from a Nutritionist who feels this is candida, please advise me your views I am so lost, trying everything diet wise, using probiotics & drinking pure water. The social anxiety has stopped me working and isolated me from others. Please help me. David.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. For your information, social anxiety is not a disease, but a mental condition arising out of negative thinking. If you have it as a disease, you would have never gone to school in your childhood. You should know that these problems are not mental diseases, but are mental disorders. Many researches and researchers confirm that medicines alone cannot cure mental disorders. Exercise, Life style changes, change in thinking pattern, relaxation etc are as essential as medicines. Psychotherapy can help you changing your lifestyle and thinking patterns. Yoga and meditation help you to streamline your metabolism and neurological balance. Please consult a psychologist for further information.

Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
