A member asked:
Is there really a medicine that can help stop anxiety?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: There are a variety of medicines that can be very helpful in managing symptoms of anxiety. They do not make anxiety "go away" and are not a cure, but they can be very helpful.

Anxiety: Medications treat symptoms of anxiety, not the cause.. Best to combine them with psychotherapy & behavior modification.
