Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as anxiety or depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.

First, determine the: cause and presentation of the anxiety. There are 33 sx's and they vary in frequency, intensity and pattern--the latter correspond to the types of the disorder (panic, OCD, phobias, etc.). You should know everything about anxiety to start, then see a mental health pro. Here's a reference to get going: http://www.psychologyproductsandservices.com/page2.html
