I would have hoped there was some form of medication for Anxiety these days, nothing addictive is better than fine. So no help there, but another gap to pay. I then called my old GP's office back to receive yet another phone consultation gap, while attempting to obtain the correct 3 month Centrelink Certificate for Jobseeker that they have asked me for. So, another GP (as mine is on leave remember) and was of course not able to receive this yet again, because apparently, you can't get a Centrelink Certificate on a phone consultation, even though you've been diagnosed with this 17 years ago, have had it for over 45 years and all the documentation of my file is right in front of the GP speaking to you. Well, that's news to me. So, after all of this, I have a lot of money taken out of my rent, with still no certificate. I actually have no idea why they even placed me with DES, when they have provided no assistance as I was told they'd be able to. There is absolutely no difference in being with them, compared to being with a "normal" job provider. I thought perhaps they had psychiatrists/psychologists to assist with your mental health so you can go back to work, but no. So, I guess DES is only there for physical disability. I don't know. This provider basically read me the riot act on the 2nd appointment because I was not able to get myself as together as he wanted me to be to take on work immediately. I really wish I had a magic wand to change my brain's activity but I don't. So, all I am doing is going around in circles: no money for specialists or GPs, but I will be forced into something that I will not be able to do reliably enough until I am well, to which my payment will be cut. The system is a farce. Thank you for listening to my lengthy rant

There used to be, but govt bureaucrats in their infinite wisdom banned it in. They classified it as an addictive substance and therefore people who struggle with anxiety and panic attacks have no medical help. I can't mention the name because it breaches guidelines on this forum,. You can get more help as a heroine addict these days. Sad but true. It's a tragic state of affairs.
