Depends: Like anything else, anxiety comes at different levels of severity. If your anxiety is mild or is specific to a situation (like a fear of flying), a brief dose of psychotherapy with a social worker is enough. If it is more general or not as mild, you may want to see a psychologist who is more trained or your general doctor for medication. If it is really impairing you may want to see a psychiatrist.

Start: With your family doctor. Medical issues can cause anxiety. If you are medically cleared, make an appointment with a board certified psychiatrist who can recommend a treatment plan for you, which may include therapy and/or medications.
