Your anxiety and stress is more due to gut imbalance so follow HAIP DIET for that. Medha vati can act as good aid but it will not address the root cause. Follow HAIP DIET. That is the most important thing you can do.

Yes Medhavati / Brahmi vati should be continued. Best is always counselling, find a counsellor and continue the sessions. Am Ayurvedic counsellor is better equipped for the Manas Dosha balancing or Bio Energy Balancing of the Psyche.
