    I didn't even know problem solving therapy was a thing! No, I just meant basic problem solving skills.
    (I definitely would not give you any medical advice except to reach out to an educated professional.)
    To make a long story short-defining problems or just areas in life you're not happy with-formulating solutions-turning one solution into a goal(a positive and realistic goal for the future)-and then breaking that goal down into small, doable tasks. I don't think a person has to be at a nonfunctional state for this to help! A lot of people do this, but not effectively and that is where the books helped me out. For me, it's been useful in losing weight and stress management, in general. & especially, in not letting overwhelming circumstances or other people dictate my future.
