A member asked:

What is the treatment for the general anxiety disorder type of diagnosis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Sometims a type of counseling called cognitive behavioral therapy is what's needed. Sometimes drugs called benzodiazepines are used, but that should be a temporary thing. Antidepressants and some drugs that are also used to treat seizures are often used.
