Yes. Manage anxiety: By learning relaxation skills & learning to modify the thoughts, perceptions & beliefs that trigger your anxiety. Learning to calm your body & your mind is the key. You can learn these skills on your own, but having a mental health professional "coach" you is quicker & more effective. Biofeedback helps learn relaxation skills (www.Bcia.Org & www.Aapb.Org). Entrenched anxiety may require meds.

Yes, it is treatable: It may be more helpful to think of "anxiety" as the psychological equivalent of fever-- a nonspecific response to a wide range of possible underlying difficulties. The suggestions of the other doctors will likely help, but if the anxiety persists or is severe enough to cause problems, see a good psychologist to get to the bottom of it and treat the cause, not just the symptom. It can be treated.
