This is actually more dangerous than it sounds. Prayer may have positive psychological effects (which can be gained through other ways), but it will not heal you. Your body heals itself (or not), and sometimes medical intervention is needed. Staying positive is an important component, but don't think that praying will cure you; it won't. Pastors who "heal through prayer" are charlatans.
Religious leaders in your community are also typically ill-equipped to handle psychological problems. See someone who actually has training in the are in which you need help.
