Procedure For Treating Anxiety
At our practice, our aim is to help you overcome your anxiety issues and help improve your quality of life. Talk therapy and medications are among the possible anxiety treatment options that we can recommend for our patients.
Talk Therapy:
In our practice, our specialists use psychotherapy such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) or, in some cases, a combination of counselling and therapy. Our CBT focuses on recognizing and altering the harmful thought patterns that can bring about troublesome feelings and anxiety disorder. This procedure also changes the intensity and scale of reactions to stressors.
Our therapist also helps the patient manage the way their mind and body react to some particular triggers. Our psychotherapist also helps the patients find out the root of their anxiety disorder, explore the triggers of the patient’s anxiety, explore possible coping mechanisms.
Medications:
Our specialist prescribes one out of the numerous types of medication after explaining to you how each of them works. Here are some of the drugs that we may prescribe:
- Tricyclics: This type of drug has been very helpful in treating patients but has side effects such as dizziness and weight gain. Some types are imipramine and clomipramine.
- Benzodiazepines: These drugs are highly addictive and are not usually our first line of medication. Some types are Valium and Diazepam.
- Antidepressants: Antidepressants can also be used for anxiety disorders because they have fewer side effects than other drugs. Some types are citalopram and fluoxetine.
