Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Your physician or: Psychiatrist should take a comprehensive history to determine which type of anxiety disorder you have. Then a tailored plan can be made for you. A good response can be determined by how effectively your anxiety symptoms are quelled and by side effects you may be experiencing.
