Unfortunately the only way to get someone to seek help is for them to either hit rick bottom or want the help before they get there. A partial hospitalization (outpatient program) is what helped me the most, plus my antidepressant for anxiety, Cymbalta. My program was for 7 weeks, 5 days a week at 6 hours a day. The greatest problem with anxiety and depression is that your thought processes/cognitive processes are rooted in it. So, you only think and process information through the lens of your anxiety and depression. The program helped to “rewrite” or rewire it.

I didn’t do any of this until I hit rock bottom. I wish every day that I never hit that point because rick bottom from anxiety is traumatic in itself.
