Detailed Answer:
Hi there,

I am sorry to hear about your past.

I would highly recommend getting started on medication for anxiety and depression. The most common and most recommend if a medication called Zoloft. It works great for anxiety and depression. Your primary care doctor can get you started on it.

More importantly, I would highly recommend seeing a behavioral therapist, psychologist, and a counselor. I would also recommend getting involved with groups in your area that have gone through similar things. Your symptoms might worse as you begin to talk about your symptoms, but ultimately, it will make you feel much better.

Please let me know if you have additional questions or concerns.
