Dear lybrate user. I can understand. The more you try to get rid of anxiety and depression, the more those troubles you. You have to adjudt with those so as they don't disturb you at all. I mean, let them be there and if you are able to live your life normal, it is a complete cure. CBT can only help you. If there is a cure, past medicines must have cured.
