Like all diseases or conditions, anxiety disorder can get out of control if you do not treat it when it is not so serious. If you suspect that you are having anxiety attacks, it is best to seek treatment as soon as possible.
Anxiety disorder can last for quite a period of time, sometimes up to 6 months or more. Alcohol or substance abuse may also occur concurrently with anxiety disorder. This will usually mask the symptoms of anxiety disorder, making the situation worse. Fortunately, there are various types of therapies that are rather effective in dealing with anxiety disorder. In fact, researchers are actively developing better treatment techniques that will help people suffering from anxiety attacks. The first step towards recovery is definitely a correct diagnosis. In fact, there are several different types of anxiety disorder. If you suspect that you are suffering from any type of anxiety disorder, it is best to consult a physician or any qualified health care professional about your condition. Depending on the type of anxiety disorder that you have, the treatment will be different. Sometimes, before you consider visiting a physician, you may want to know whether it is really a disorder or simply being anxious. For example, maybe you are undergoing a stressful period recently. That is why you feel anxious most of the time. Maybe you are having exam and you have to complete a major project in your workplace? Perhaps, a good guideline is this: If you are always anxious for no particular reason, even during a supposedly stress free period, then you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. If you are in this situation, then it may be time to see your doctor for further examination. |
