I'm married to a psychologist specializing in evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy for treating anxiety and insomnia. There are ways to deal with these problems without medication. And these methods are backed up by peer reviewed studies to prove they work. If you do end up needing help in the future I'd recommend reading up on CBT.

Isn't it amazing though that CBT wasn't thoroughly examined as an option prior to prescribing multiple prescription medications?

  Sad but common. Also, I have had many patients go to therapists and get "CBT" that had nothing in the world to do with CBT as studied and researched.

    Yup. I've had multiple negative interactions with psychiatrists and psychologists. There may very well be good ones, but IMO they've become overshadowed by the bad ones.
