Medications have proven extremely effective in eliminating or reducing many of the symptoms of an anxiety disorder and helping the patient regain control or his or her life.
Medication is most effective when combined with psychological therapies.
The chance of recurrence is reduced when medication and psychological therapies are used together. Finding the right medication and dosage for each individual may require some detective work on the part of the physician. Diagnosing the specific disorder will narrow the field of appropriate medications, and the doctor will make the final selection based on individual circumstances and the patient's health history.
