Anxiety: The best treatment for anxiety is cognitive behavioral therapy , identifying u negative thought and trying to change them , if therapy alone not effective one can add medication to decrease anxiety symptoms.

Different approaches: I treat a # of patients with ptsd & anxiety disorders with a combination of talking therapy (to include cpt & cbt) & acupuncture. Some have mild sxs & some just didn't want psychotropic meds. I treat other with psychotropic meds & talking therapy. There is a third group that get meds, talking therapy & acupuncture. All 3 groups are making progress but it takes dedication & willingness to work.
