Anxiety encompasses many different types of emotional difficulties.
It is a type of emotion that gets in the way of you and what you want to do. Both these problems are common and can be serious if they get out of control and do not receive treatment. Cognitive Therapy is perhaps the most researched and validated type of psychotherapy for Anxiety and Depression. It has been shown to be the most effective short term approach to help improve mood and alleviate anxiety symptoms. Although medication can be effective, many people who seek Cognitive Therapy are trying to avoid the use of medication.
