and Panic:
Treatment Options
For a Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body

NB: Symptoms
similar to classic anxiety symptoms can sometimes be caused by physical
conditions (e.g. overactive thyroid), "slimming
tablets", excessive coffee or some drugs. A thorough
medical check-up is recommended, before trying other treatment options.
-
Psychotherapy:
Anxiety often responds
well to "talk" therapy and to therapies that teach skills
like relaxation techniques, meditation, systematic desensitization
of phobias, etc. It is often reassuring to learn about how panic
attacks "work" and ways of controlling them.
Find a therapist near your home or consult a licensed counselor
online at Online
Counseling.

Examine
Your LifeStyle: Learn
how diet, exercise and daily habits can affect the way you feel.
-
Herbal
& Homeopathic Medicines are often effective and most do not have the side
effects or addictive properties of some of the prescription
medication. Visit the Health
Pharmacy for
safe, effective natural remedies for anxiety - especially formulated
by a Practising Clinical Psychologist.
-
If all else fails and your
anxiety is so overwhelming that you feel you cannot cope, consider
prescription medicines. While these are widely prescribed, it
is our feeling that they should be used as a last resort only,
when all other avenues have failed. Make sure that you understand
exactly what it is you are being prescribed. If your doctor
does not answer all your questions thoroughly, get another opinion/doctor!
See Recommended Books for more information on the use of prescription
drugs and natural remedies to treat anxiety and be well informed!
