Treating Anxiety Disorders Talk to a mental specialist if your anxiety is persistent and interferes with your daily activities. Psychologists are trained to provide psychotherapy and may be competent to prescribe medication, whereas psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in mental health treatment. You can manage your anxiety with the help of counseling, medications, and other treatments. There are other ways to cope, like learning stress management techniques or joining support groups (in person or online). Medication Anxiety disorders can be treated with psychotherapy (talk therapy), medication or a combination of both. Talk therapy assists people in finding more effective ways to deal with their anxieties and lessen the symptoms. Sleep, exercise and strategies for managing stress can help improve mood. The medications help to reduce the intensity of anxiety and make other treatments more effective. People with an anxiety disorder are at risk of other mental health issues, such as depression. The symptoms of depression are often interspersed with symptoms of anxiety, which is why it is essential to treat both at the same time. A psychiatrist trained to treat mental illnesses can diagnose anxiety and prescribe medication to alleviate symptoms. Certain life experiences and traits inherited from parents increase a person's likelihood of developing anxiety disorders. Traumas, like an accident in a car or war, may trigger an anxiety disorder in a few people. A chronic illness or caregiving can also cause people to worry overly. Abuse of alcohol, specifically alcohol and illegal drugs can contribute to the development of anxiety disorders . Antidepressants are a primary treatment option for many anxiety disorders. Numerous clinical studies have proven that modern antidepressants, called SNRIs or SSRIs like duloxetine and escitalopram (Cymbalta) and escitalopram and (Lexapro), are efficient. Diazepam, also known as Valium, can also be used to reduce anxiety swiftly. They aren't typically prescribed for more than 4 weeks as they can become addictive and stop working as well. Beta-blockers, such as propranolol or atenolol can be used in order to treat anxiety. They reduce blood pressure and heart rates. Anticonvulsants, like the levothyroxine sodium (Levothyrix) can reduce trembling and shaking. The use of low doses of antipsychotics, such as buspirone (BuSpar) are helpful for people who have physical symptoms of anxiety like a fast heartbeat or sweating. Certain sedatives, such as clonazepam, (Klonopin) can only be purchased through a prescription. Certain people who suffer from severe anxiety use monoamine oxidase inhibitors like Anxair (moclobemide). Psychotherapy It is normal for children at times to feel anxiety or fear but these feelings shouldn't impact their daily lives or cause them to withdraw or become isolated from their families, friends or school. Anxiety disorders can lead to severe depression, or other mental health issues that affect the quality of life of a person. People suffering from these disorders often need psychotherapy (counseling) and medication to manage their symptoms. Cognitive behavioral therapy is the most common psychotherapy used for anxiety disorders. It helps you to change the habits of thought that cause anxiety. Your therapist will teach you relaxation techniques and help you discover ways to manage negative feelings. They'll also employ exposure therapy to gradually expose you to situations that trigger your anxiety. This is accomplished through systematic desensitization. It involves creating a list of triggers and then grading them according to their intensity. Your therapist will also teach you how to challenge your unfounded predictions and harmful thoughts. They'll show you how to test your negative beliefs by performing experiments, weighing up the advantages and disadvantages of avoiding or worrying about and determining the real probabilities that something bad might happen. Psychiatrists may prescribe short-term or long-term medication to treat anxiety disorders. Antidepressants, such as buspirone and SSRIs are able to help with many types of anxiety by altering chemicals in the brain that regulate mood. Benzodiazepines like diazepam and lorazepam can help in promoting relaxation of muscles and relaxing the brain. SNRIs like venlafaxine may help with anxiety because they boost serotonin levels as well as norepinephrine levels in the brain. Psychiatrists can monitor your symptoms, address any questions and make changes to your treatment plan when required. It could take a while to heal from your disorder depending on its severity. It is possible to test a number of therapies or therapists before you find the one that works best for you. For the best results, it's important to adhere to your treatment plan. The longer you delay seeking help, the more severe your symptoms might become. Interpersonal therapy Interpersonal therapy is a kind of short-term psychotherapy that is focused on solving interpersonal issues. It usually takes between 12 and 16 sessions to be completed. It has been empirically proven to improve depression and anxiety symptoms. It has also been shown to be effective in treating depression comorbid to PTSD. It also helps in dealing with work-related and social issues in people suffering from PTSD. The initial sessions (1-3) focus on gathering information and identifying trouble areas. The therapist can assist you in creating the list of your most important relationships. The therapist will assist you in determining the most problematic areas in accordance with your requirements and the potential for improvement. In the middle sessions (4 between 14 and 4) you will work with your therapist to find solutions to each of these problematic areas. You will then practice the new strategies in your daily life in between sessions. The most important aspect of IPT is that it frames the patient's issues as a medical condition, not as a character flaw. This can relieve patients' self-criticism and guilt. It also helps them recognize that their symptoms are a result of a combination of their current situation and medical conditions. Choose a therapist that is licensed and specializes in the condition you're dealing with. Check out the therapist's qualifications and background. You may also request referrals from other doctors. Be sure you and your therapist are on the same page about the goals of the sessions prior to starting therapy. For example, you might prefer to work on improving your relationship skills or overcoming your fear of intimacy. Self-help Anxiety is a normal response to stressful events, but it turns into a disorder when it is so intense that it is a problem with your daily routine. People with anxiety disorders usually need medication and psychotherapy to recover. But some self-help methods can reduce symptoms and make them easier to live with. Relaxation and breathing exercises, for example can reduce your heart rate and help you relax. Try doing these exercises several times a week, paying attention to how your body feels when you breathe in and out. Recognizing negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones can help reduce anxiety. Changing your diet and getting regular exercise can help you feel better. You can reduce your intake of nicotine, caffeine and alcohol which can worsen or cause anxiety. Regular exercise releases tension and stimulates the brain to produce serotonin. This chemical is believed to improve mood. Do 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity each week. Self-help resources for anxiety include self-help groups, support groups books and online resources. Some of these resources include several activities that can be done at home, such as identifying the triggers for your anxiety and learning to challenge your anxious thoughts. Some of these resources provide face-to-face sessions to counselors or other people who have similar issues. Psychological treatments for anxiety disorders are essential. They include cognitive behavior therapy, which can help change patterns of thought that can trigger anxiety exposure therapy, in which you gradually confront the situations or people or objects that trigger anxiety, and complementary health practices like breathing exercises, relaxation meditation, breathing exercises. These strategies can be used in conjunction with medication. Certain people may require a consultation with a physician in order to determine if they have medical conditions which could be the cause of anxiety. After that, they can start treatment. Anxiety disorders can be debilitating and can be a problem with school, work and social life. They can also cause depression, which is linked with a higher risk of suicide. If you don't seek treatment for their symptoms are at greater risk of developing into a more serious mental health problem.
