I have a history of anxiety disorder and hypochondria, which has worsened this year due to stress-induced gastritis that won't heal. I'm considering medication for anxiety but have concerns about dependency, side effects, and impact on libido. Additionally, I'm worried about potential reactions and worsening of my stomach condition. What are your recommendations for managing my anxiety and hypochondria, and is medication appropriate in my case?
