Anxiety Disorder Treatment
• Co existing conditions such as anxiety and depression can
trigger the need for different types of treatment however.
There is no “one size fits all” method for dealing with
mental health conditions. Treatment will vary from person
to person, and there may be individuals who respond
more positively to different types of treatment.
• Another form of anxiety disorder treatment is the use of
CBT or cognitive behavioral therapy. CBT is designed to
create a lasting, long-term treatment method wherein the
patient takes a proactive approach to his or her own
treatment. In most cases, CBT will start with a 12 or 16
week treatment period . Some professionals will also use
CBT because it often gives the patient a sense of control
over their behavior, and it teaches patients to recognize
behavior patterns throughout daily life that typically go
unnoticed.
