Yes, the answer to BIID is to study Zen Buddhism, or so "my" psychiatrist told me recently. Now, this is the guy I had a bad vibe about, as I described to you guys not so long ago. I saw him once.

An appointment was made two weeks hence. A week before the appointment I started to feel better. The visits with the psychologist and then the psychiatrist at that clinic actually did nothing for me, and the improvement felt before the first appointment slowly faded out and disappeared.
