This is the type of cervical collar they are referring to - https://www.walmart.com/search/?query=f ... r&cat_id=0

I wear one every night. The DMI 4-inch firm foam cervical collar is my preference. I tried a few chin straps and did not like them at all.

If the cervical collar or a chin strap does not work for you, you may need a full face mask or a hybrid mask ( https://www.cpap.com/cpap-masks/full-face-cpap-mask.php )

And, yes, CPAP has cured many people of depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation.
