What is the best medication for anxiety.

Anxiety is best: treated with cognitive behavior therapy, clinical hypnosis, practice of the Relaxation Response (see book of the same name by Benson). Medication may play a role but don't rely on that alone. Behavioral techniques taught by a clinical psychologist are long-lasting and will help in other areas beyond the present-day stressors. Peace and good health.

They vary. Most: MD's will consider an SSRI, but some think benzo's are OK. Each have their respective benefits and drawbacks, which is why you need to go over your conditions and the list of pharmaco's with a psychiatrist. Your MD "might" know about herbal approaches that are more benign--Valerian Root being the number one, or even Melatonin (taken in VERY small doses during the day so you don't fall asleep).

See details: There is no one best medicine for this issue. The best approach is to see a mental health professional and try to determine the cause of the anxiety first.

MEDICATION: Best to discuss medication with your Psychiatrist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. consult another for a second opinion. Have a physical exam by a Dr. to determine if you have a physical illness. Consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy with ZOOM sessions. Fears and anxiety could be heightened due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe & hopeful to elevate your immune system.
