Anxiety Disorder Help

What anxiety disorder help is available?

There are many kinds of anxiety disorder help, and they all can be helpful depending on the personality of the individual that needs help.

Overall there are two types of help for anxiety disorder: Professional (Psychotherapy, counseling, pharmacotherapy, alternative methods, etc) and unprofessional (family help, friends’ support, socialization with other people that suffer from the same disorder as you do, etc).

Anxiety counseling is used in cases of mild or moderate anxiety disorder. This type of anxiety disorder help is very useful and can play a major role in preventing anxiety episodes from reoccurring. Prevention is very important part of staying well and anxiety free.

Once the individual is cured from anxiety he or she should be in anxiety counseling for up to five years and in some cases for a life time. This is because it is usually easier to cure someone from anxiety than to stop anxiety episodes from reoccurring at some point of the individual’s life.

For most people that get better and cured from anxiety disorder it seems too much continuing with psychotherapy or counseling whose goal is prevention. Even though it is enough to go once a month, for so called checkup sessions many individuals quit and at some time find themselves suffering from symptoms of anxiety and depression again.

Group therapy is very productive and popular help for anxiety disorder. This is because it really works and has many positive elements that therapy, one on one doesn’t have. However, on the other side psychotherapy one on one has some advantage over group therapy. This is why it is usually the best to mix these two types of psychotherapy.

Anxiolytics (anxiety medication) are powerful therapeutic tools, when used appropriately and along with psychotherapy. Medication can help but it can also make you feel even worse and more vulnerable. This is why when taking the medication you need to be disciplined and take them as prescribed.

By abusing or misusing anxiolytics you are helping your anxiety disorder become even more potent and you are doing everything but helping yourself. For example, if you are taking your anxiety medication off and on, or if you mix it with alcohol you shouldn’t hope for anything good because by doing so you are not medicating but poisoning yourself. Alternative anxiety disorder help is available in many forms such as natural supplements, acupuncture and so on. If these and other alternative methods are conducted by a health care professional there are much bigger chances that they will work than if they are conducted by someone who does it as second job or a hobby.

Natural supplements can be a substitute for anxiety medication but only when prescribed by a health care professional. This is because there are many natural supplements available and only a health care professional can know which one you should take and in what dosage.

Family anxiety disorder help can play a very important role in anxiety treatment. However for this to be the case family members need to learn how to help their loved one first. This they can learn in family counseling or psychotherapy. In family counseling they can also learn how to cope with the stress, anger, disappointment and discouragement that are all normal reactions to that type of situation.
