It’s normal to be anxious in our day to day activities, but this can slowly lead to a complicated condition. Anxiety disorders are self-made conditions that come with fear and distress and can keep you from enjoying a normal life. The disorder can get to the severe stage and cause disability if you don’t put prompt measures in place.

I can say that there’s no better treatment for this condition than prevention just like other disorders. However, with the condition already existing, we need to get away from helping you back to the standard life.

The treatment isn’t just one because there are various categories of anxiety disorders that have their own medication. You must know that medication should only come in when it has reached the extreme stages. The main types of this disorder include; panic disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Generalized Anxiety Disorders among others.

It’s also worth noting that you can achieve greater heights of recovery if you couple the medication with other healthy practices. For instance, adopting healthy behaviours can play a big role towards taking you back to normalcy.

This article will share the main medications and what else you need to incorporate to attain better health. I’ll explain each medication deeply for you to have a better edge of the Anxiety Disorders.

Use of Antidepressants

This is only a temporary treatment whose main intention is to prepare you for other long-term treatments. Most of the antidepressants will make you calm, something which is good to any doctor giving his services. When you’re calm, you can easily sleep giving the therapist a chance to treat you well.

You should be aware of the side effects and other dangers of using this medication. It’s also good to know that the medication never treats your psychological symptoms but only alleviate physical symptoms.

In case your condition hasn’t reached severity stages, you should explore activities that relax your mind and muscles. Another thing you should do is to get sleep in the proper position with the use of a pillow for a better sleep.

Use of Beta-blockers

The main beta-blocker is propranolol. You can only use this medication for physical symptoms of anxiety. Those symptoms include; shaking of the body, intense heartbeat, and palpitation.

The medication is good for those with a strong phobia of even things that don’t pose a danger to their lives. For instance, if you fear heights and you’re going on top of a tall building, this is for you.

Just like other medications, there are side effects that can become worse than even the disorder itself. You should also be aware of the withdrawal syndromes too.

Use of Tranquilizers

Tranquillizers don’t treat this condition but bring a relief that’s required for the other long-term treatments. For that reason, this medication is only recommended for severe cases. The main tranquilizers are the benzodiazepines.

If you’re using this medication, you should be conscious of how addictive it is as it can cause unending dependability. However, many medics prefer the medication in cases of panic disorder and Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Here too, good pillows for sleeping can bring the same relief. You’ll agree with me that it’s better because it comes naturally.

Anticonvulsant

The main drug under this category is Pregabalin which has a trademark name of Lyrica. Even though many people know that the drug is an epileptic medication, it’s also licensed for the use of treating anxiety. It will be good for if you’re a Generalized Anxiety Disorder patient.

Counselling Therapy and self-therapy (Talking)

The main therapy under this category is Cognitive Behavior Therapy (GBT).  The only other person who understands your condition almost the same way you do is a trained therapist. He will confide with you about the causes, symptoms and how you can manage your condition.

The treatment works with nearly all types of disorders. Moreover, it’s natural and seems to aim at the condition than others that aim at the symptoms. There’s no better time to explore this medication but, the earlier, the better.

When you’re shy and don’t want to share your condition with others, you shouldn’t worry as you can treat yourself better. This is possible since there are computer programs and workbooks that support it. What’s more, a website like No panic will help you a great deal.

Applied relaxation

What else do you need in this condition than relaxation? In the earlier part of this article, I point out the need to relax your muscles. You can do it on your bed using a good pillow. However, the best way to achieve this is when you follow the directives of a trained therapist in your prescribed exercises.
