The treatment for severe anxiety is either psychotherapy or medication, or a combination of the two. Psychotherapy involves working with a medically licenced therapist to address and treat the underlying components of your anxiety. The most common and effective type of psychotherapy is cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). It is a well-rounded approach that arms the patient with the mental tools and physical resources to help combat issues and symptoms that often feel overwhelming. Medications prescribed by your doctor can also help ease the symptoms associated with persistent anxiety. It’s important to talk to your health care professional about the benefits, risks, and side-effects of the medication you’re prescribed. While some can be taken long-term, others are only meant for short-term use. If you’re suffering from anxiety and don’t know where to turn, trust the professionals at Marcellus Wellness and Addiction Services.
