Hi! Thank you very much for the resource, I will definitely look into it. I've struggled with anxiety before (though not nearly as bad), so I think my PCP is more able to write it off as just being a more intense manifestation of anxiety rather than it being from PCS. I will discuss other options with him the next time I have an appointment. Thank you again!
