What are effective anxiety treatments?

There Are Many: Effective treatment of anxiety is primarily dependent upon the severity of the anxiety. For simple anxiety try deep breathing, exercise, engaging in a fun activity. For moderate anxiety, psychotherapy is an excellent form of treatment. For severe anxiety, psychotherapy combined with special medications can be quite effective. Your primary care physician can help direct you to the best treatment.
