those things. You allow yourself to suffer from them. Regardless of the drug or therapy the only thing that can actually heal you is you. When you cut your finger, does the band aid or neosporin heal the cut? No. Your body heals itself. Your mind is no different. But sometimes your mind and body need a little help to heal.
The one aspect that those various remedies ( the credible ones) have in common is concentration and meditation.
I assume that since you state that you suffer from those afflictions that you have seen a psychologist or psychiatrist. If you haven't then you shouldn't even be asking these question. Ask him/her about studying mindfulness meditation. It is taught by just about any Buddhist teacher usually at no or little cost. Mindfulness meditation will at least help you to be more aware of your mental state. Also, there is a new meditation book due out at the end of the month (I've reserved my copy). It is Meditation for Dummies 2nd edition by Stephan Bodian.
Above all talk to your psychologist or psychiatrist before undertaking any remedy.
