Any treatment for uncontrollable anxiety?

11 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

It can be controlled: Anxiety can be quite unpleasant if it lasts over time or frequently appears in specific situations. The good news about anxiety is that it tends to respond well to treatment with medications, psychotherapy, or a combination of both. It's important to note that anxiety often leads people to avoid feared social situations. Avoidance often provides immediate relief but worsens anxiety over time.

It may feel so: It may feel 'uncontrollable', but it is not. Starting with the understanding that you can control your anxiety level, its effect on you, and how it may limit you is key. Working with a therapist to learn strategies will help you gain this control. Good luck.

Anxiety can disable: If your anxiety is severe, please see a psychiatrist who specializes in the pharmacological management of anxiety. Much uncontrollable panic is due to a flare-up of ptsd triggered by something in your present that triggers a retraumatization of something in your past.
