What are the treatment methods of anxiety disorder?

Anxiety disorder is a mental illness, which, like the treatment of other mental diseases, mainly includes medication, physical therapy, psychotherapy and other treatment methods. Zhengzhou psychiatrists remind everyone that anxiety disorder is a refractory mental illness. On the one hand, the curative effect is not very good, on the other hand, it is easy to relapse. Compared with simple treatment, comprehensive treatment greatly improves the curative effect. The following is a detailed introduction about the treatment of anxiety disorder. What are the common methods for treating anxiety disorder? Many patients with anxiety disorder do not know enough about the symptoms of anxiety disorder and the treatment is relatively general, which leads to the result that anxiety disorder is difficult to cure. Let's take a look at the treatment of anxiety disorder introduced by experts from Zhengzhou Psychiatric Hospital:

1, drug therapy: For patients whose anxiety symptoms are not very serious and have little impact on their life, study and work, drug therapy may not be considered. However, what is more serious is medication, mainly taking a new generation of antidepressants. The key to treatment lies in the choice of drugs. Western medicine can control symptoms quickly, but the side effects are relatively large. Traditional Chinese medicine has a stable curative effect and needs a relatively long time. The course of treatment may generally be more than 2 years, otherwise the recurrence may be great.

2. Physical therapy: For anxiety disorder, common physical therapies include biofeedback and transcranial microcurrent stimulation therapy. Pure physical therapy generally has no side effects and dependence, but it can't control the symptoms, and at best it can only be used as an auxiliary means of drug treatment.

3. Psychotherapy: Psychotherapy, also known as psychotherapy, can eliminate symptoms and cure diseases by changing patients' cognition, mood, will and behavior; At the same time, it can also play a preventive role. Under the guidance of psychologists, patients fully understand the causes and background of anxiety and learn to transfer or resolve mental stress. At present, the treatment of anxiety disorder is mainly psychotherapy, and it can also be combined with drugs for comprehensive treatment.

4, self-treatment: Some nervous anxiety is due to the patient's suppression of some emotional experience or desire, which is unintentional, but it still lurks in the unconscious, so it produces symptoms. When you are sick, you only know pain and anxiety, but you don't know the cause. At this time, you must reflect on yourself and say what causes pain subconsciously. You can vent when necessary, and the symptoms can generally disappear after venting. What are the symptoms of anxiety disorder? What are the common clinical manifestations?
