Can anxiety disorder goes away without medication ? i have heard cbt helps..but i can't afford that..any other alternative!?

CBT works!: Your physician can give you a trial rx of an anti-anxiety med, at a low dose. Can give you some immediate relief. But long-term results are best with CBT (with meds if needed). If you live near a college or university, call them and see if they offer CBT from supervised graduate students. Other alternative: call your local county Psychological Association, or online to APA.org for low cost Dr

Many psychiatric: disorders, including anxiety, spontaneously remit (go away) without tx. In the case of anxiety, about 30% of cases spontaneously change their sx pattern, including a significant reduction or disappearance of sx's. There are also many causes of this--changing environments, work, relationships, diet and exercise patterns. If anxiety persists, CBT is very helpful. Try a free clinic to start..

Self-help books: There are a number of good cognitive behavioral books for anxiety out there. David Burns is a particularly good author.

Support helps: Try going to an anxiety self-help group. There are lots you can find online: http://www.adaa.org/supportgroups, http://anxiety-and-panic-attacks-self-help-group.meetup.com/ . Also don't give up on therapy. Look for low-cost programs. Go to your state's Dept of Health website, then Behavioral Health to find sliding-fee clinics near you. Best wishes.

Control?: Do a running inventory of what's going on in your life throughout the day, and ask yourself "Di I have any control over this?" If you don't have control over a thing, at least past a certain point, why worry about it?

Options: Talk about feelings & address problems. Don't avoid them. Aim for 7.5 - 8 hours of sleep/ night. Daily physical activity is optimal in a green space. Eat healthfully. Cut out junk carbs, caffeine & alcohol (or moderate). Try Qi Gong, Tai Chi, acupuncture, acupressure, homeopathy, meditation, Yoga, exercise program, deep breathing exercises or Progressive muscle relaxation.

Anxiety: There is option of online CBT as well. This is the link for it, give it a try . http://www.beatingtheblues.co.nz

Anxiety: Anxiety can be treated without medication by a Clinical Psychologist. If you can't afford private treatment please look for a clinic or sliding scale funded center.
