Well, on the religious remedy/prescription I think one of the most effective and maybe foundational ways also is being attached and built up in the WORD OF GOD. For it is by the Word of God we renew our minds daily.
Seeing it (i.e constant reading) and Mediation on this word help fill out minds and distraction us from many unnecessary feeling or urge.
