Anxiety Treatment
Research into the different types of anxiety disorders has yielded numerous effective treatment options. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, two types of treatment are available for an anxiety disorders and include medications and specific types of psychotherapy (often referred to as talk therapy).
Both approaches can be effective for anxiety related disorders. The choice of whether to take a medication or get involved with psychotherapy, or both, depends on preferences of the doctor and patient, as well as on on the particular anxiety disorder being experienced. Research has found, for example, that the only effective method of treatment for specific phobias is psychotherapy. When choosing a personal therapist, the patient should find out whether medications will be available if necessary.
Prior to treatment, your doctor must perform a careful and detailed evaluation to determine if the symptoms being experienced are due to an anxiety disorder. Additionally, the doctor must identify the type of anxiety disorder and the co-occurence of other disorders, if present. Not every anxiety disorder can be treated the same. Determining the specific problem is the first step to determining the best course of action and treatment plan.
Always inform your doctor if you have been treated previously for an anxiety disorder and be prepared to tell the doctor what treatment(s) you tried. Specific information such as the medication, dosage amounts and how it made you feel will be important for the doctor to know when determining the next option.
With anxiety disorders, it often happens that people believe they have "failed" at treatment, or that the treatment has failed them, when in fact it was never given an adequate trial.
When you undergo treatment for an anxiety disorder, you and your doctor or therapist will be working together as a team. Together, you will attempt to find the approach that is best for you. If one treatment doesn't work, the odds are good that another one will. New treatments are continually being developed through scientific research.
Visiting with a conventional medicine practitioner can yield positive results. Some patients have found that working with an integrated medicine specialist or a complementary medicine specialist may also help to treat some forms of anxiety. Other forms of anxiety relief available include meditation, group therapy and audio therapy.
If one treatment method does not work, do not give up hope. Involve yourself in your treatment program. Actively participating in your own recovery is the most important step to finding real, long-lasting treatment.
**NOTE - Dietary supplements, though
they can help relieve some symptoms associated with
anxiety in the short-term, are not long-term treatment
solutions for anxiety. Always speak to your doctor
if you are thinking about taking, or are currently taking a dietary supplement.
