so I'm going to admit to not knowing a lot about that planned novel^^ by saying that kinda depends if the WILD BEAST is a magical/supernatural/fantastical construct that works in the world of your fic (kinda like Yami Yuugi in Yu-gi-oh), meaning it only works as a psychosis or actually is one.
Also of how you want to deal with it. Meaning is this a problem that you want Tyr to supress/have it vanish? does he need to work through it? work with his beast-type thing (wether it be a psychological issue or fantastical)? because if it's just about ignoring it then happy pills would probably work as band-aids in a crisis situation. but if it's about you know either working through or working with a combination of a doctor (who can prescribe the medication) and a behavioural/deep therapist who would propose/help find ways to live with the problems could work really well
Like take depression for instance. (Leaving aside that I think this has become a fashion trend and I don't think most people diagnosed with it are actually clinically depressed *rantrantsnarksnark*) It is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. But that is not all of it. Even if you tend to have this biological problem if your life is a charmed fairytale you will not get it. But it means you are very much predisposed to becoming depressed, which is when you should get anti-depressants. But they are not the final solution. You still need to find ways to live a normal life. Develope strategies to get you out of your funk. Like really thinking about positive reinforcent or formulating true goals to work. Get yourself a support structure inside and out. Depressed people aren't weaker or stronger than others, but if you just take a pill and everything is magically better then don't kid yourself, you were never really depressed clinically or otherwise. Most of the time it is very much a mix of biological and real psychological issues.
So tl;dr I personally think a doctor/therapist would be perfect. (though you would then still need to decide if you want to go the *deep-dark-past did it and if I just find out when my parents were mean to me I will conquer the beast!* or the step further of *knowing what caused it is nice, but what can I do today to make my own messed up psyche not interfere in my happiness by it's weird beast-conjuring strategies")
