Types of therapy that can help manage your symptoms include: cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) exposure therapy interpersonal therapy eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy alone can be successful for people living with mild or situational anxiety. However, medication may also be used in addition to therapy if necessary. Commonly prescribed medications for anxiety include antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and beta-blockers. Coping techniques can also be helpful if you're in between therapy sessions, you choose not to take medication, or you're looking for additional ways to manage anxiety in the moment. General coping skills and lifestyle changes may include: removing yourself from a situation and doing something different (e.g., listening to music or stretching) practicing meditation and mindfulness getting a massage to relieve physical tension trying deep breathing exercises exercising using grounding techniques playing with fidget toys While these options may reduce the effects of anxiety on your day-to-day life, they might not work for everyone. It's essential to consult with a therapist to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
