Treatment starts with diagnosis by a qualified therapist. Your diagnosis may be for one of several types of disorders related to anxiety, such as:
• Generalized anxiety disorder
• Panic disorder
• Specific phobias
• Agoraphobia
• Social anxiety disorder
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
• Separation anxiety disorder
• Obsessive compulsive disorder
Psychotherapy is one of the most effective treatment methods. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one type of
talk therapy that provides great results for many people. This treatment method can help you learn how your thought patterns, feelings and behaviors relate to your symptoms. As part of CBT, you also learn how to change negative thinking to a more objective view, along with healthy coping skills.
