At the Anxiety and Stress Disorders Clinic we stress that it is possible to defeat anxiety disorders without the use of medication. Studies on the efficacy of medication versus therapy find that both are effective in decreasing anxiety. Importantly, however, studies evaluating the combined use of medications and psychotherapy suggest that there are no long term benefits to combining these treatments modalities. This means that you must have been taking the medication for several months with no change in does. Rather, anxiety disorders appear to be a combination of inherited traits, external stressors, life experiences and a variety of other factors.
Genes are just one of a constellation of factors that lead to the development of anxiety.
