that 90% of people with anxiety disorders can be helped with medication, Psychotherapy and cognitive and behavior modification. Treatment of anxiety disorder depends on the type of disorder and the patient’s disorder. Some of the medications used are selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors like Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Luvox, Celexa, and Effexor. Other anxiety reducing drugs might include Valium or Xanax.

Behavior modification involves having a person face their fears with a trained therapist. This is
done in a controlled safe environment. This way they can confront the source of what makes them fearful. Sometimes by revisiting a situation that caused you to become too anxious you may be able
to overcome it. Another form of treatment is psychotherapy where you can talk out your fears and phobias with a therapist, then try to figure out the source that is causing these distorted thoughts
and feelings. Some new treatments are being tried along with medication and therapy. These include exercise, relaxation techniques, biofeedback, and hypnosis. In some milder cases these new treatments may be sufficient on their own.
