A member asked:
Does therapy alone actually work for ppl who have anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: Depending on many factors, including intensity, frequency, and duration of the symptoms, psychotherapy alone can sometimes be enough for the patient's anxiety to subside. However, if the symptoms are so debilitating that work and social pursuits are greatly affected, medication with therapy is frequently the best course of treatment.
