Rx anxiety ; OCD: Studies have shown that people can respond favorably to either psychotherapy or medication when suffering from anxiety and ocd. However in some instances doing both will lead to the best clinical outcome. If you are afraid of taking medication for anxiety, you could try l-theanine ( a green tea extract) or lavella ( an oral form of lavender). Both have been shown to reduce anxiety symptoms.
