Your Dr can assess: for an an anxiety disorder & causative underlying medical conditions. Talking therapy (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or insight oriented psychotherapy) is allows for lasting change. Don't isolate. Spend time w people. Use your support system. Get out. Get at least 8 hrs of sleep/ night & eat healthfully. Daily aerobic physical activity is a big +. Try acupuncture, tai chi, qi gong or yoga.

It's vital 2 understand what anxiety is, how it ticks. Benefit from specific approaches proven 2 b effective in helping ppl develop skills 2 manage anxiety (esp cbt, act, mindfulness).
