Treatment for Anxiety

Treatment Options

Therapy

Psychotherapy is a type of counseling that can be beneficial for those suffering from anxiety. A psychotherapist can assist patients in learning to cope and control their anxiety. Cognitive behavioral therapy is also a type of psychotherapy that assists patients in learning how to change their thought patterns in order to avoid triggering panic attacks and anxiety.

Medication

Anxiety disorders may be treated with medications known as antidepressants. These medications can help lower anxiety levels and lessen the associated symptoms.

If you are experiencing anxiety or panic attacks consult your physician for proper diagnosis. Anxiety disorders do not go away on their own. Seek professional assistance and treatment. Anxiety can affect every aspect of your life including home, work, and school. Panic attacks and other types of anxiety can cause people to withdraw from social situations and develop depression. A mental health expert can help teach you to take control of your anxiety and your life.
