Procedure For Treating Anxiety Disorder

Psychotherapy

This is also commonly referred to as psychological counseling or talk therapy; at our practice, our psychotherapy involves the patient working with a therapist to reduce their symptoms of anxiety. We use a short-term treatment of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Our psychotherapy treatment focuses on teaching the unique patient skills to control their worries and help them gradually return to the activities they have been avoiding due to anxiety.

Medications

There are many types of medications used to treat anxiety disorder, including the ones listed below.

  • Antidepressants: These include medications in the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), serotonin, and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) classes, which are usually our first line of medication for treating anxiety.
  • Buspirone: This medication called buspirone is used by our specialists on an ongoing basis. Like other antidepressants, it usually requires several weeks to become fully functional.
  • Benzodiazepines: In rare cases, our specialist might prescribe a benzodiazepine for relief of the symptoms of anxiety. This medication is used only for reducing acute anxiety on a short-term basis.
