Guest ASchwartz Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hi,I do not know what the most suitable job would be for you but a job would allow you to pay for help.You need two things, in my opinion:1. You need to be seen by a Psychiatrist so that a proper diagnosis can be done on you. Then, he could prescribe the correct medication.2. You need psychotherapy in addition to medicine.I do not know what types of psychotherapy and therapists are available in India but I know they are there.Also, you need to learn about your illness, after you get a proper diagnosis and become independent so that you do not rely on your family for medicine and psychotherapy. Families often do not understand these things.Is it possible for you to do these things?Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ASchwartz Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 The type of therapy would depend upon your diagnosis. However, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy works well with things like OCD, if that is the correct disorder that you experience.In terms of interviewing, that is something you can discuss with your therapist. There is something called Assertiveness Training and there are coaches who help with interviewing techniques. I would suggest that you first see to the diagnosis and starting therapy with the possibility of medication first.What do others think?
