D&D is not a "therapy game," nor should it be used as therapy. It is a dumb idea and just as dangerous as "self-medicating" yourself for an illness or asking the Internet for medical advice. You will get hurt and regret the stupid idea. Even if you "feel" it is helping, it likely is causing other problems (or masking them and hiding them deeper).
See a professional, licensed doctor or therapist!
Ask your primary care provider to refer you to a mental health professional.
This is the ONLY way.
Random people who charge for therapy sessions while gaming, those who call these games a replacement for professional help, articles on gaming sites that recommend this, and even people who casually recommend this are giving horrible advice. People also "charging for therapy" in places where a license is required are likely in some trouble, and sites advertising, selling, or promoting it could also be responsible.
Is a random dungeon master charging hundreds of dollars an hour for "D&D therapy" going to be able to recognize a problem that needs medication and prescribe you that?
I read this crap, shake my head, and ask myself, what are people thinking?
