How anxiety is treated
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
A structured, evidence-based talk therapy that helps you identify and change the thought patterns and avoidance behaviors that keep anxiety going.
Medication management
Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can prescribe and adjust medications such as SSRIs when therapy alone is not enough.
Exposure-based and skills work
Gradual, supported practice facing feared situations, paired with relaxation and grounding skills to lower day-to-day reactivity.
