Therapy? Cognitive behavioral therapy in particular sounds like it would be useful. Maybe some kind of lifestyle coaching/exposure therapy?

Spiritually speaking, meditation definitely can't hurt, if you learn it under the guidance of an experienced practitioner. Practices like prayer and auto-suggestion might also be beneficial.

Other than that, it's hard to say - mental illness is a murky area.
"The path of the Sage is called
'The Path of Illumination'
he who gives himself to this path
is like a block of wood
that gives itself to the chisel-
cut by cut it is honed to perfection"

- DDJ, Verse 27
