The mainstay of : treatment to manage anxiety disorders is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy & other therapies by an experienced psychologist. It is always wise to seek referral to a psychiatrist, as well, to confirm diagnoses of specific anxiety disorders & comorbid illnesses like depressive disorders, etc. If symptom control is not maintained with consistent therapy & "homework", medications may be a useful adjunct.
