Only by seeing a : Psychiatrist & psychologist can you get an accurate diagnosis & treatment to manage anxiety. Then tell both your psychiatrist & your ob-gyn when you're ready to plan a pregnancy, to understand the risk of taking anti-anxiety medications in pregnancy. Also, discuss with your OB the risks of having a child with a chromosomal abnormality at your age, as this provokes anxiety in some women 35 & older.
