A member asked:
It could be possible that a gp alone help someone with anxiety or will they need to refer me somewhere else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly.: Your gp can offer suggestions and prescribe medications for short term relief of the symptoms of anxiety, but long term relief from the symptoms is more likely when you combine this intervention with a psychologist who can help you learn the reasons you are anxious and develop more effective coping skills.
