Many ways: Exercise, talking with friends, psychotherapy, yoga, meditation, and medications (antidepressants) like ssris, prozac, zoloft, (sertraline) Celexa for example. Anxiety and depression overlap quite a bit, which is why antidepressants are first line treatment in anxiety.

Agree with Dr. Tripp: Talk about feelings ; address problems. Don't avoid them. Aim for 7.5 - 8 hours of sleep/ night. Daily physical activity is optimal in a green space. Eat healthfully. Cut out junk carbs, caffeine ; alcohol (or moderate). Try qi gong, tai chi, acupuncture, acupressure, homeopathy, meditation, yoga, exercise program, deep breathing exercises or progressive muscle relaxation. Cognitive behavioral >.
