I did TM training in high school as well, sort of a "family thing." I don't know that I'd go as far as calling it a cure, but it can certainly be a powerful, effective tool. I still do it occasionally....not the 20 min 2x day as I should, but more on a prn basis :-)
HOWEVER (!!!!) - Please, PLEASE talk with your psychiatrist, psychologist, or counselor before learning TM if you have ANY suspicion or evidence that you may be prone to dissociative experiences (you may have to arrive armed with an explanation of TM). There are, unfortunately, some negative reports from TM use, and many revolve around these issues. If there is any chance of dissociation, I would proceed with EXTREME caution.
