JHAMAINE E asked: My boyfriend told me I have a phobia of somekind because I have an issue with cleanliness?

After my first visit with my psychiatrist, I found out what medication I would be taking. It’s a classic drug called Imipramine. It was one of the original most-effective medications used to treat depression. It is classified as a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA). TCAs tend to have more side-effects than other antidepressants. I was a bit uneasy about taking it because of the research I had done on it. Ineffective for social anxiety…lots of side-effects–this didn’t sound appealing to me, especially since I didn’t want to take medication in the first …

stardust asked: I’m 100% sure that I have social anxiety, and I’ve been fighting it for the past three years, to no success. I’m considering going on medication, but I’d like to hear some good advice to talk me out of it first.

While understanding the sources of social anxiety is important, the reality is that the patterns and the neural pathways are already in place thus demanding a cognitive undoing …
