Seek professional : You did not state whether you are already in treatment. Clearly if you are in treatment already then you may wish to ask your provider to refer you for a second opinion. If, on the other hand, you have not sought out treatment, combined treatments with both medication and psychotherapy usually provides the best results. This will usually be combining the help of a therapist and a psychiatrist. Psychiatrist is an M.D. Physician specializing in mental health issues and the therapist can be either a social worker or a psychologist who provide psychotherapy that can be tailor-made to treat the specific type of anxiety that you have.
