Talk with your doctor about a therapist that does CBT. A good book, in my opinion, is "The Feeling Good Handbook" by David Burns. Good exercises and checklists. CBT is something that must be practiced and for most, the thought changes do not come naturally. However, a number of individuals find it quite effective. Others, don't have very good success. I wish you luck.

Yeah, I'm one of them. 2 years of it made me worse if anything. However, Dragonslayer is right- it might be benificial.
I might also say Albert Ellis' book 'A new Guide to Rational Living' is good if you dig this stuff. Good luck,
Ace.

Sorry if it's confusing here, but Psychological Babble is the board for issues related to psychological treatments. Here's a link:
