question: I have been having emotional problems for as long as I can remember. I was diagnosed with anxiety attacks and prescribed Xanax for this. The Xanax helped with the excessive worrying and panic but not with the other issues. I am currently waiting for my blood work because my doctor wanted to see if maybe my thyroid is playing some kind of role in this. I was traumatized at the age of eleven and a few years ago my mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia. I am very worried and feel like I can not take much more of these mood and emotion problems. What do I do?
