HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the psychological condition and already had medicine for that then it is necessary to have it again in presence of symptoms, if it is not possible then counseling is the option and it can be tried, some time family moral support works very nice too, hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
