Can anyone explain my mental problems?

Well, I have to admit that alcohol consumptions on every weekend might be the greatest factor for my problem. I used to be a heavy drinker in the past. Looking at the Wikipedia, I have to say that I have anxiety disorder: panic disorder and Agoraphobia, with little depression on the top. I developed social disorder at one point, but don’t have that any more.

Sajhamod, I am definitely going to stop drinking alcohol (slowing down already, could not quit instantly), and going to avoid caffeine & nicotine as well. In a month, I have decided that I am going to see a doctor for prescription medication, if nothing works (everyday exercise, meditation and positive thinking). My psychotherapist in the past also suggested relaxing exercise first and medication if everything fails. Medications definitely come with some side effects, but it looks like I don’t have any option. One question though, whom should I see to get the prescription: psychotherapist or medical doctor?

  Thanks for the suggestions!
