Hi, Ferlinghetti. There is strong evidence that stress underlies a lot of mental conditions, and the three anxiety diagnoses you have indicates that you are probably very vulnerable to stress.
Besides meds, there are various stress reduction techniques and mindfulness. For a thorough rundown of both, click the "Mange" tab above, then "Recovery/Wellness."
Happy reading ....
