All really good ideas! @Nomad

I personally ended up having to take medication for mine. I didn't really want to but didn't have a choice in the end. Difficult life circumstances were a factor in my case as well, but I appreciate medication doesn't work for everyone.
 
Sometimes medication becomes a compulsion. My spouse also had to go into medication because the methods I mentioned in my post did not work for her. But later she began using medications and the alternative healing at the same time, and it worked.
